Would you like to help The University of Reading with some interesting
research?

If your home was constructed since 2000 please read on...

We are looking for owners/occupiers of new homes built since the year 2000
to take part in a research study for the Office of the Deputy Prime
Minister. The idea is to find out how new dwellings can be built to provide
improved access and more independent living for the whole population
including people with disabilities.

In order to carry out this research, we would like to survey a variety of
new house types including:

bungalows, flats, town houses, terraced houses, semi detached and detached
houses.

We would also like to carry out an interview with a member of the household
in order to obtain their views about their dwelling. Ideally we are
interested in talking to the following groups of people:

older people, families with young children, households with at least one
person with an ambulant disability and households with at least one person
with another disability including visual impairment.

If you are interested in getting involved please contact either:
