Research


DRILL logo: disability research on independent living & learning

The Disability Research for Independent Living and Learning (DRILL) programme is a Four Nation Research Project which delivered the world's first major research programme led by disabled people. It ended in June 2021 but it's legacy will live on to lobby for change.  Launched in 2015 it was a UK wide programme and Disability Action worked with Disability Rights UK, Inclusion Scotland and Disability Wales.  It ended in June 2021 but it's legacy will live on to lobby for change.

DRILL has it's own website and you can find out more information about the research that was undertaken in Northern Ireland and across the UK. Or you can read the DRILL Impact Report here.


If you have an interest in disability research not related to DRILL then please contact our Head of Policy Nuala Toman M: 07967 322639, E: [email protected].
