“Independent Living enables us as disabled people to achieve our own goals and live our own lives in the way that we choose for ourselves.”
Independent Living offers practical solutions for removing the barriers to equality and social inclusion that disable us, including in health & social care, housing, education, employment, transport and access to the environment.
Article 19 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Disabled People establishes disabled people’s right to Independent Living. Disability Wales believe that a National Strategy for Independent Living is needed for this to become a reality.
