Research survey call out – disabled, neurodiverse, blind or visually impaired, D/deaf participants
A call-out poster for a research survey by Lead Scotland, seeking disabled, neurodiverse, blind, visually impaired, or D/deaf participants to share cyber crime and online safety experiences. Survey open until 31 March 2026.
As part of our Cyber Project, which delivers accessible learning on cyber and online safety topics, we’re undertaking a small scale research project.
The research results aim to influence the cyber landscape in Scotland in regards to disability and accessibility.
The research will explore disabled people’s experiences with cyber crime and online safety. It will check assumptions about disabled people’s experiences with cyber crime, their confidence and safety online, any support they receive to be safe online, and how they’ve learnt to be safe online.
We are looking for disabled people, neurodiverse people, blind or visually impaired people, D/deaf people or people who have long term physical or mental health conditions to complete a short survey, telling us about their experiences with cyber crime and online safety.
– The survey has 22 questions, and will take about 15 minutes to complete.
– You DO NOT have to have had an experience with cyber crime to complete the survey.
The survey is open until 31st March 2026
If you would like to take part in the research, please complete the survey which can be found here: https://forms.office.com/e/q97s1hfdXD
