Research conversations: Exploring the relationship between personal assistants and the people they support

About the event

During this research conversation, Daniel Lombard, will be talking about his research into the caring relationship between personal assistants and the people they support.

Daniel wants to study personal assistants, who work with adults in their own homes to support them with care needs.

He is designing a research project during which he would like to observe and interview personal assistants and the people employing them.

The research would ideally include both parties of a caring relationship as participants at the same time.
