STORM Expert Advisor Panel

We work closely with a team of self-advocate advisors from the Elfrida Society and Mencap who advise on all aspects of the project and are also members of the STORM Study Management Group.  The Panel's meetings are co-chaired by one of the self-advocates and Christine Koualla-Burke from the Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities. The Panel is actively engaged in presenting and co-presenting the project and to date has presented findings from an initial pilot of the STORM Programme at the Open University's Social History Learning Disability Conference in July 2018 and at a UCL conference in September 2018.
