    Making the Most of Your Human Rights to Independent Living: A Toolkit for disabled people and their advocates

    By admin | Toolkit | Comments are Closed | 29 August, 2015 | 1

    In 2011, Inclusion Scotland worked with two disabled people’s organisations and one advocacy organisation to develop this toolkit for disabled people and their advocates on Human Rights to Independent Living. We have held several training seminars with disabled people in the years since.

    This year, we have updated this toolkit to include any new laws and developments in the field of disability rights.

    If you or your organisation would like training on using this toolkit, please contact Pauline Nolan by email: pauline@inclusionscotland.org or call 0131 281 0865 (text relay calls welcome).

    You can also find an easy read version of this toolkit here:
