My name is Katrina, I am a student at Newcastle University doing a course called a PhD.  As part of this course I am doing some research (this means finding things out) about a topic that I think is important.  The topic I want to learn more about is how people with learning disabilities might make choices about parenthood and having children.  To do this, I want to hear what people with learning disabilities think about it and I also want to speak with family members and support workers to hear their views.  To take part you must be aged 18 or over. 

If you have a learning disability, click on the People with a Learning Disability page to find out more.

If you are a family member or support someone with a learning disability, then please click Family and Carers for more information.

If you want to take part or if you have any questions about the study you can contact Katrina Rose on parenthoodstudy@newcastle.ac.uk  

This study is being supervised by Professor Janice McLaughlin and Dr Sarah Winkler-Reid.  If you have any questions or worries about the researcher, then you can contact them on janice.mclaughlin@newcastle.ac.uk and sarah.winkler-reid@newcastle.ac.uk
