Independent Living Bill in the UK

Independent Living Bill in the UK

Lord Ashley of Stoke introduced his independent Living Bill in 2006.
It was drafted by the Disability Rights Commission and in consultation
with a range of disability organisations, service providers and other
stakeholders.

ENIL Regional Delegate Debbie Jolly talked to Lord Ashley of Stoke.
The Bill identifies key issues that impact on disabled people's
freedoms, control, rights and dignity including reform of a social
'care' system that is in crisis and can not deliver support to
disabled people beyond the minimum levels. At present it represents a
system that is difficult to understand and work through, a system in
which advocacy and self-assessment principles are being ignored and
the prevention of freedom of movement because of the impossibility of
transferring a package of social support to other areas. In short
social 'care' does not support what disability organisations would
term independent living.

The independent living bill seeks to tackle these problems, but the
process is slow as the Bill needs to be read several times by
different Parliament houses at Westminster before it becomes a legally
binding Independent Living Act, although the Independent Living Bill
appears to have inspired some government plans, government are
reluctant to accept the Bill in its entirety- Lord Ashley is
determined to carry on representing the Bill and told ENIL:

"My Bill on independent living is designed to sweep away the
scandalously inadequate system of services for disabled people and to
replace it with one which is based on freedom, choice, control and
participation. At present, independent living is a mirage.
Consequently, the present system means there are very few rights to
services. For example, the very notion that the right to merely being
washed and fed provides independence is bizarre. These conditions mean
that disabled people have to fight for every concession rather than
have services provided as of right.

Today, disabled people have no rights in their choice of where they
live and who they live with, no legal entitlement to advocacy, no
right to communication support and equipment, no right to portable
support. They are trapped in a system which is slow, cumbersome and
inflexible.

The Bill sets out clear principles for the delivery of support to
disabled people and their families. For the first time social care,
health and housing support will have a clear purpose set out in law.
This would guarantee disabled people the services they are deprived of
today.

Every disabled person would be guaranteed minimum outcomes which would
focus on delivering the means to live an ordinary life, rather than
the current "feed and clean" only culture.

Disabled people would be supported to define their own needs through
self-assessment which would save time and money.

Disabled people would have new rights to communication support and
equipment, to independent advocacy, to support mental health needs and
to palliative care and rehabilitation.

This is merely the flavour of the Bill and there are many detailed
proposals, all of which combine to present a very different picture of
independent living from today's. This Bill has the potential to
transform the lives of millions of disabled people in Britain. They
are entitled to it and it is up to us, working together, to provide
it."

3 Old Men (e-story)

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards
sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I
don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have
something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.

"No", she said. "He's out."

"Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. "Go
tell them I am home and invite them in!"

The woman went out and invited the men in.

"We do not go into a House together," they replied.

"Why is that?" she wanted to know.

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in
and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."


The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with
wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"


Their daughter-in- law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"

"Let us heed our daughter-in- law's advice," said the husband to his wife. "Go out and
invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him.
Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!! !"

OUR WISH FOR YOU...

Where there is pain, we wish you peace and mercy. Where there is
self-doubting, we wish you a renewed confidence in Your Ability to work
through them. Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, we wish you
understanding, patience, and renewed strength. Where there is fear, we
wish you love, and courage.

Don't give up.....(e-story)

Don't give up.....

One day I decided to quit...

I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality. .. I wanted to quit my life.

I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.

"God", I asked, "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"

His answer surprised me...

"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"

"Yes", I replied.

"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.

I gave them light.

I gave them water.

The fern quickly grew from the earth.

Its brilliant green covered the floor.

Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.

In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.

And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on
the bamboo. He said.

"In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.

But I would not quit.

In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed.

I would not quit." He said.

"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth.
Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant. ..

But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong
and gave it what it needed to survive.
I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."

He asked me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have
been struggling, you have actually been rowing roots?"

"I would not quit on the bamboo.

I will never quit on you."

"Don't compare yourself to others." He said.

"The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern.

Yet they both make the forest beautiful."

"Your time will come", God said to me.

"You will rise high"

"How high should I rise?" I asked.

"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.

"As high as it can?" I questioned.

"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."

I left the forest and brought back this story.

I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.

Never, Never, Never Give up.

For the Christian, prayer is not an option but an opportunity.

Don't tell the Lord how big the problem is, tell the problem how
great the Lord is!
