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. © 2022 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
