User Led Organisation and Learning Site Project
The Department of Health “Improving the Life Chances of Disabled People report” recommended that by 2010, each local authority area should have a user-led organisation modeled on existing Centres for Independent Living.
The Department of Health awarded 13 organisations across England over 2009-10 user-led Action and Learning Site status. The lessons learnt and knowledge gained by the awarded organisations would be shared to ensuring every locality had the chance to develop and have access to a user-led organisations.
Leicestershire Centre for Integrated Living (LCIL) was one of the 13 organisations within wave 2 of the Department’s action learning sites and in recognising the make up of Leicester’s population, LCIL worked in partnership with The Race Equality Centre to achieve the outcomes identified within the agreed work programme. These included:
-
The Promotion of Independent Living
The Promotion of people’s human and other legal rights
Extend links to Local Disabled People, carers and other people
Recognition that carers have their own needs
Provision of support to enable people to exercise choice and control
The joint LCIL and TREC publications:
A Simple Guide to Services for Disabled People in Leicester City;,
Putting People First – Personalisation: A Rough Guide;
Do Carers have Human Rights;
Disability is a Human Rights Issue: A Guide to Human Rights for Disabled People
were all developed and created from this exercise.
