| Description: | There are 400,000 people with disabilities in Ireland. Of these, 24% are unable to carry
out everyday activities, while a further 43% experienced difficulty carrying out these
same activities. (CSO, 2008)1 Approximately 32,000 of people with disabilities live in a
residential home or hospital. People with disabilities can be marginalized in terms of
health, housing, employment and social participation.
In sustained endeavours to draw those who are marginalised from the periphery there
have been developments in legislation, social policy and programmes. The Programme
of Advocacy for People with Disabilities in the Community and Voluntary Sector is one
such programme that was developed by the Citizens Information Board2. The
Programme offers an advocacy service to those with disabilities who require an
independent advocate to help them secure services that they might otherwise not
receive. The advocates make a significant impact in the lives of those who used the
service. |
