Working With Local Authorities

Our course for local authorities is intended to provide practical suggestions on basic measures that need to be taken in the main areas of local authority responsibility. This course plans to promote direct consultation between local authorities and people with disabilities in the Community. We hope we can assist you to embrace the principles we recommend.

1. As a tool for discussing specific policies, programmes and initiatives with the local community for disabled people.
   
   
2. To identify areas for research and policy development at a local level.
   
   
3. To provide concrete recommendations for local authority departments seeking to improve the provision of equal opportunities policies and services for disabled people.
   
   
4. As a source of ideas for local authority workers concerned with examining their professional practice, thereby considering the needs of disabled people.
   
   
5. As a source for Local Authorities wishing to improve their own record of employing people with disabilities.
