Document summary

Scope sought to understand the experiences disabled people have of attitudes and the types of behaviour they experience from others in everyday life. We also wanted to explore the impact attitudes have on disabled people and whether such attitudes lead to disabled people reducing or stopping certain social, educational and vocational activities. With Opinium Research, Scope conducted an online survey with 4,015 disabled adults in England and Wales between 12 May and 16 June 2022. 100 disabled people were also contacted to complete the survey via telephone, to include those with limited access to the internet or who were less digitally confident. Data was weighted to be nationally representative of the disabled adult population in England and Wales. In addition, Scope conducted in-depth focus groups with 24 disabled people, including one session specifically dedicated for disabled younger adults.
