Independent futures by Colin Barnes
This book provides the first comprehensive review of the increase in the UK and internationally in the number of disability related support services controlled by disabled people themselves. It highlights the need for greater user involvement in service provision and delivery.
"This should be essential reading for decision-makers, politicians and, not least, disabled people with an interest in their own futures" Community Care
" ... the book remains a powerful summary of the existing state of user-led services and a challenge to all involved to support user-led services in future." Professional Social Work
