Welcome
Welcome to Disability Action in Islington (DAII), an organisation run by and for disabled people. We aim to support disabled people in Islington, so that they:
- gain more control and choice over their lives
- have better access to services and opportunities
- are able to challenge exclusion and discrimination.
DAII also works to raise awareness of the needs, interests and views of disabled people in Islington and to promote a more accessible and inclusive environment.
We meet our aims by providing a range of free, high quality, fully accessible and innovative services that help equip disabled people with the information, knowledge, support, training and opportunities they need to live the lives they want.
What do you think about the management of Social Care in Islington?
A message from the new Independant Living Training and Support (ILTAS) service at DAII:
In the August 2011 Newsletter, we told you about ILTAS, the new DAII project. ILTAS would now like your help please!
As well as providing training and support, the projects also responds to decision makers in Islington Council and the new policies/decisions being made around Social Care. We'd like to be able to better represent your views during this process and have a better idea of what your experience is of the Social Care you are receiving.
This is why we are asking for your help. We are carrying out a survey that will enable us to gather your views and experiences. Please spare a few minutes to fill it in and return it to us. You don't need to provide your personal details as it is completed anonymously. The more people that complete the survey, the better the picture we will have about your views and experiences of Socail Care here in Islington...and the better we will be able to convey them to decision and policy makers.
Thank you for your help. If you would like a hard copy of the survey please contact the project Manager Andy Greene on 020 7354 8925 or email andy@daii.org.
Social Model of Disability
The Social Model of Disability rejects the medical idea that the 'problem' lies with the individual disabled person who is 'sick' and in need of a 'cure'. Instead it puts forward the view that it is the way society is run and organised that is the 'problem' not the individual disabled person.
