He has research interests in: transition to adulthood; multi-agency working; young disabled people who live away from home in residential settings; gay, lesbian and bisexual people with learning difficulties Ð their experiences, the barriers they face and the ways in which they overcome them; and how young people with long term health conditions do or do not access good quality social care support.
