Clients' Experiences about Discretion in Disability Social Work and Disability Services 2022

The data consists of writings in which clients describe their experiences of the use of discretion in disability social work and disability services. The data was collected as part of a larger research project (HaraVa 2022-2023) funded by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health. The writing invitation asked people to write freely and in their own way about their own experiences of using discretion in disability services and social work for people with disabilities. The writing invitation asked respondents to describe the type of discretion they had encountered in social work for people with disabilities, for example when applying for or deciding on services. It also asked about the impact of discretion and decisions in the respondent's life, how the respondent has experienced discretion in social services' practices, and how the respondent's own perspective has been taken into account. The respondents could write either about their own experiences or, for example, as a parent of a disabled person. If they so wished, they could also ask someone else to write a report on their behalf. The writing invitation did not ask for respondents' background information.

本数据集收录服务对象撰写的文本，内容围绕其在残障社会工作及残障服务中运用裁量权（discretion）的相关经历。本数据集采集自一项由社会事务与健康部资助的大型研究项目（HaraVa 2022-2023）。本次写作邀请要求受访者以自主、自由的方式，分享自身在残障服务及残障人群社会工作中运用裁量权的经历；邀请内容具体涵盖：受访者在残障社会工作场景（如申请或确定服务时）所遭遇的裁量权类型、裁量权及相关决定对其生活造成的影响、其在社会服务实践中感知到的裁量权行使情况，以及自身视角是否得到考量。受访者既可撰写自身的相关经历，也可站在残障人士父母的视角进行创作；若有需要，受访者亦可委托他人代为撰写文本。本次写作邀请未要求受访者提供个人背景信息。
