The history of self-advocacy in England has not been recorded, other than the stories of individuals and of some individual groups. We, therefore, decided to interview some leaders of the self-advocacy movement and some people who were allies and supporters. Three researchers, two self-advocates and one academic, interviewed 11 self-advocate leaders on Zoom as the COVID lockdowns made it impossible to meet. Four allies and supporters wrote their answers to our questions, and we interviewed three others. We used the information people gave us to start writing the story of self-advocacy from 1972 to 2002. There is a lot more to do.

在英格兰发声 50​​ 年——迈向重要的历史

除了个人和一些个别群体的故事外，英格兰的自我倡导历史没有记录。因此，我们决定采访一些自我倡导运动的领导人以及一些盟友和支持者。三名研究人员（两名自我倡导者和一名学者）在 Zoom 上采访了 11 位自我倡导者的领导者，因为 COVID 封锁使他们无法见面。四个盟友和支持者写下了他们对我们问题的答案，我们采访了另外三个。从 1972 年到 2002 年，我们利用人们给我们的信息开始撰写自我宣传的故事。还有很多工作要做。
