Our Voice in our Future
Disabled people should be able to speak up about the services they need. They should help to plan for the future.

A network called Shaping Our Lives sent out a questionnaire to groups of disabled people. They also talked with four different groups of disabled people and people with learning difficulties. They asked them about what it was like to speak up about services.

This is what they found out:


bullet point Most disabled people wanted to speak up. But they got cross when no one listened, and things didn't change.
bullet point There were some good ways for people to make their voices heard.
bullet point There should be better laws about asking disabled people what they think.
bullet point Disabled people and people with learning difficulties need to carry on speaking up about their services. This will help services to be better.
