Surrey Users Network
Working together
to enable Users of Community Care and Health Services to Speak Out | | | National Centre for Independent Living NCIL is a National support, advice and consultancy organisation that
aims to enable disabled people to be equal citizens with choice, control, rights and full economic, social and cultural lives. | | The United Kingdom's Disabled People's Council (UKDPC)
"The United Kingdom's Disabled People's Council is the
UK's national organisation of the worldwide Disabled People's Movement. We were set up in 1981 by disabled people
to promote our full equality and participation in UK society, and we now represent some 70 groups run by disabled people in
the UK at national level. Between them our member groups have a total membership of around 350,000 disabled people." | | Changing Places
The Changing Places Consortium has launched a campaign on
behalf of the thousands of people with profound and multiple learning disabilities and their carers, and the many other disabled
people who cannot use standard accessible toilets.
These are
toilets with enough space for disabled people and their carers, and the right equipment, including a height adjustable changing
bench and a hoist. | | | Care and Support England has a care and support system that aims to help people to be
independent, active and healthy throughout their lives. Because we are all living longer and have changing expectations, this
system needs to change. To inform the discussion about how the
system will change, we want to hear what you have to say about care and support in the future. This is your opportunity to
tell us about the principles behind a new care and support system, how we can share the responsibility for care and support
and how we can set clear and fair rules about funding. Your views are important and will be listened to and used to inform
proposals for how the system can change. | |
