Independent Living & The Care Bill 2013
Help make this Bill better for disabled people
The Care Bill going through Parliament this January 2014 will shape social
care for years to come yet the Bill currently does not include any mention
of independent living and fails to address key concerns like independent
advocacy and funding of social care. Liz Kendall, the Shadow Care
Minister has put forward important changes to the Bill suggested by
Inclusion London regarding choice, advocacy and independent living.
This is a vitally important piece of legislation that will have a huge impact
on disabled people’s lives now and in the future.
Further information on the Care Bill is available to read
