Why Self Advocacy Matters Cont'

Wednesday, 10 February 2016 - 6:00pm to 6:30pm

The 'Why Self Advocacy Matters' forum and Q&A, took place on Wednesday, 25 November 2015.

Hosted by the Self Advocacy Resource Unit (SARU), Raising Our Voices and other Victorian self advocacy groups

The forums focus was on the way self advocacy works to empower people, to change and strengthen disability support and mainstream systems and to build more inclusive communities and the many ways people can support self advocacy groups. It was an opportunity to hear about the link between self advocacy, the NDIS and the ILC policy framework,  and talk with self advocates and self advocacy supporters about the different models of group self advocacy and the work they are undertaking to strengthen the voice of people with a disability.
