How useful are equality indicators? The expressive function of ‘stat imperfecta’ in disability rights advocacy
Background: The measurement of equality is often difficult for groups who are weakly defined or poorly represented in official datasets. Social statistics are an essential component in rights recognition and advocacy because they make protected groups of persons visible and reveal the extent of their inequalities in comparison with population norms. Aims and objectives: This paper examines how disabled persons have been included, or not, in EU st…
Developing disability equality indicators
The paper assesses the development of disability equality outcome indicators in 35 European countries in a context of the global governance of human rights and development. Outcome indicators are well-known in other fields, notably in the field of gender equality, but have been much less evident in the disability field. This is, in part, due to difficulties of disability definition and measurement but also reflects the relatively recent formalisa…
A human rights approach to disability assessment
Disability assessments play a key role in welfare states but are increasingly contested, not least for their compatibility with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). This paper draws on evidence of global governance and assessment practices in 34 European countries, the largest international study to date. The paper reflects on the model of disability in the CRPD and its implications for disability asses…

Direct Payments and Disabled People in the UK
Direct payments have brought new opportunities for self-determination and independent living to disabled people in the UK, featuring prominently in government strategy and the 2006 White Paper, ‘Our Health, Our Care, Our Say’. However, ten years after direct payments legislation, take-up remains low and implementation varies greatly. Rates of take-up in England remain more than double those in other parts of the UK, raising questions about devolu…
Discourse and Resistance in Care Assessment
This paper illustrates how value conflicts between the competing philosophies of community care and integrated living are played out at a micro level. The experiences of service users in Derbyshire show how the process of care assessment can perpetuate traditional discourses of disability based on dependency, individualization and segregation. By contrast, self-assessment within an integrated living approach opens up new possibilities for resista…
