Phase 2: 1-to-1 interviews with Blue Badge holders - starting in Autumn 2023

Below is the Participant Information Sheet for the interviews.
Phase 1: Survey for Blue Badge holders - NOW closed
The first phase of my research included a survey for Blue Badge holders asking about the encounters they have had in accessible parking spaces will be launched once I have received the approval.
Participants in the survey needed to
Have (or have previously had) a Blue Badge
Be disabled (ie not holding a Blue Badge for someone else)
Live in England
Be 18+
You do not need to be a driver - you can take part if you only use a Blue Badge as a passenger
Key documents
To participate in the survey, it is important you read and understand the Participant Information Sheet, which tells you more about what it means to take part and how your data will be used. Please also visit the Further support page, which contains some useful resources for help and advice, for example if you found re-living some of the encounters distressing, or if you realise you may have experienced a hate crime.
