Information for people with a disability


Our aim is to work closely with the people who need our services and their carers, and to help them find the information and support they need.

Instead of thinking about people as having disabilities, we need to think about the things that they should expect as citizens. We are committed to enabling people to live their lives in the way that they want to. They should have easy access to the help they need to do that, alongside others and as part of their community, and making sure that they are in control of things.

For more information look at our new Choices for Care and Support website
