0.2 How was the Report Written?

This report emerged from a two-year exploration conducted throughout 2020 and 2021. The work was undertaken by the authors, with backgrounds in media studies, policymaking, law, data ethics, and so on, and most of whom have had firsthand encounters with mental health services, distress or disability. The report co-ordinator, Piers Gooding, received funding as a Mozilla Fellow in 2020. With Simon Katterl, Piers led the drafting of Part 1 and 2 of the report, with guidance from the other co-authors. The report recommendations were jointly and equally authored.
