| Annotation | This Independent Living Strategy sets out a strategy to improve disabled people's experiences and life chances. It brings together initiatives - across Government departments - which will enable more people to have choice and control over the support they receive, remove barriers to independent living, and improve access to services. This main report on the Strategy outlines the rationale and intended consequences (with examples) on the following commitments: promoting independent living; action and learning site and regional initiatives; maximising disabled people's housing opportunities; transport and mobility; health; employment and economic well-being; personalisation, choice and control; support, information, advocacy and brokerage; joined-up approaches for independent living for older people, young disabled people and disabled parents; and monitoring progress. Use of Public Service Agreements (PSAs) and other frameworks in measuring progress is outlined. Views are sought on implementing the strategy and the involvement of older people in the consultation which runs until 20 June 2008. (RH). |
