Abstract
In this chapter, I draw on IE as a qualitative methodology and social theory developed by the Canadian feminist sociologist Dorothy Smith during the 1980s (e.g. Griffith & Smith, 2014; Smith, 1987, 1990a, 1990b, 1992, 1996, 2005, 2006). IE influenced the epistemological foundation of this study in that it offered a lens, through which I critically explored the two research questions (how do budget holders with intellectual disabilities and their support workers experience their relationships with each other? How are the lived experiences of people with intellectual disabilities and their support workers in their relationship with each other influenced by PB policies organising support work?).
