In a recent article in The Guardian the mother of one of those who suffered a broken arm as a result of being restrained in such an institution tells of the traumatic impact that this had on her son. As an organisation that exists purely to give people with disabilities the opportunity to choose where and how they live their lives, by helping them buy a home of their own, we are committed to continuing to fight to ensure that the pledges made by the Govermnent are met. With this in mind if you know of someone trapped in an inpatient unit, or at risk of being admitted to one, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us as soon as possible.
This month we were delighted to have been invited to participate in a podcast hosted by Lisa Brown from Supported Living Property.
We don’t believe that the recently proposed benefit changes will have a significant impact on any of our home owners, as they all have lifelong disabilities and have already been assessed as being unable to viably work in paid employment.
We were delighted to have recently been invited to co-host a webinar with The NSG about home ownership for people with disabilities and we were privileged to have been joined by the parents of two of our happy home owners too.
