Independent Futures - Creating user-led disability services in a disabling society
£19.99
Given the increase of disability related support services controlled and run by disabled people themselves, greater user involvement in service provision and delivery is a key priority for many western governments. Drawing on evidence from a range of sources, this book provides the first comprehensive review and analysis of these developments in the UK and provides a critical analysis of key issues affecting future policy and practice. Including an up-to-date and comprehensive literature and research review, Independent futures is essential reading for not only academics and students but also practitioners and policy makers who need a reliable overview and critical analysis of key issues affecting future policy and practice.
