Abstract: This article makes an argument in favour of greater collaboration between social work research and disabilities studies. The authors suggest that social work research would benefit from adopting a social model and working closely with service users’ organisations, in the same way that the social model of disability and association with disabled people’s organisations has provided a focus for disability studies. One of the direct consequences would be to prioritise service user involvement in social work research, an area which is currently underdeveloped.
