Disabled people, voluntary organisations and participation in policy making
English This article focuses on the involvement of disabled people and voluntary organisations in the deliberative processes of governmental policy creation. In recent times traditional disability charities have enjoyed significant access to government and have asserted the legitimacy of their participation on the basis of representing a constituency comprising disabled people and carers. However, many disabled people have declared their preferen…
Welfare States and Disabled People
The Principles of Social Policy
"Beyond their immediate areas of concern (such as education, health or housing) social policies are shaped by prevailing political values and beliefs. These values are made tangible in the form of overarching policy objectives. These may include, for example, the promotion of equality, the securing of justice or the preservation of liberty. This book provides an account of the key principles that have underpinned social policy in Western democrac…
Disabled people, New Labour, benefits and work
In its dealings with disabled people, New Labour has shifted the policy emphasis from benefits to work. A tightening of access to social security has been matched by the introduction of new employment-orientated programmes. However, closer scrutiny of these initiatives suggests that while the government has acknowledged the impacts of environmental and social barriers to work, it continues substantially to rely on traditional, medically informed,…
What Am I Doing Here? 'Non-disabled' people and the Disability Movement
Charities, Authority and Disabled People
Disabled people are greatly under-represented in positions of authority within traditional charities. Using qualitative data from original empirical research, this paper identifies some of the causes of their exclusion. The values, attitudes and beliefs of those who govern traditional charities accord largely with the 'personal tragedy' or medical model of disability, and a major consequence of this perspective is that disabled people are confine…
The Exclusion of Disabled People from Positions of Power in British Voluntary Organisations
Disabled people are excluded in various ways from a wide range of social privileges, activities and institutions. Voluntary and charitable organisations promote themselves as champions of disabled people in their struggle for access to the ordinary choices and opportunities of everyday life. This paper reports the findings of an empirical study which demonstrate that in voluntary agencies governed by able-bodied people, disabled people are exclud…
Consumer Participation
The relationship between voluntary agencies and their consumers has been the subject of very little, if any, empirical research. The burden of this paper is to highlight questions appropriate for investigation. It explores the idea of a ‘power’ relationship between voluntary agencies and consumers, and makes particular reference to the theory of a social construction of disability. Questions are raised about the meaning of ‘consumer participation…
