'Getting our voices heard in research: a review of peer researcher's roles and experiences on a qualitative study of adult safeguarding policy.

Background: Historically, disabled people have been marginalised in research that traditionally adopted a medical model perspective. Since the 1970's, there has been a shift from research on disabled people to research with disabled people with a strong emphasis on co-produced participatory research. Co-production involves disabled people working with academics to produce research and outcomes which are informed by the end user.
