The number of disability related support services controlled and run by disabled people themselves has increased significantly in the UK and internationally over the past forty years. As a result, greater user involvement in service provision and delivery is a key priority for many western Governments. This book provides the first comprehensive review and analysis of these developments in the UK.Drawing on evidence from a range of sources, including material from the first national study of user-controlled services, this book provides a critical evaluation of the development and organisation of user-controlled services in the UK and identifies the principal forces - economic, political and cultural - that influence and inhibit their further development. It summarises and discusses the policy implications for the future development of services and includes an up-to-date and comprehensive literature and research review."Independent futures" is essential reading for academics and students on a range of courses including: health and social care; social work; allied health professions, such as nursing, occupational therapy and speech therapy; social policy; sociology; and psychology. It will also be of interest to practitioners and policy makers who need a reliable overview of current policy and critical analysis of key issues affecting future policy and practice.

Recenzijas

"Independent futures provides a timely and critical evaluation of user controlled services, identifying principle forces that inhibit their development and explaining the implications for social policy. It presents essential evidence and analysis for policymakers working within health, social care, education, housing and equality. It will also be a vital text for both undergraduate and postgraduate students in the social sciences and government and politics." Jane Campbell, Chair, Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE)
