Across the Inclusion International network, many individuals and organisations took part in workshops, surveys and interviews to report:
- what self-advocacy means to them
- what good support is
- how organisations can be more inclusive
- the vital role that families play in empowering self-advocacy.
This report provides a snapshot of work, and has some useful information for self-advocates, supporters, organisations and families. As well as containing the results from the global survey, interviews and workshops, this report also provides some useful guidance for anyone who wants to make the world more inclusive for people with intellectual disabilities.
A website (www.selfadvocacyportal.com) has been developed to share good practice and resources.
