Choice. Control. Independence.

We are a non-party political campaigning organisation involving disabled people, carers, trade unionists, activists, academics and health and social care professionals and workers.

We are a coalition of individual members and affiliated organisations campaigning for all social support, independent living and care services to be: 

• Free at the point of use 
• Fully funded through progressive taxation 
• Subject to national standards based on article 19 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Disabled People, addressing people’s aspirations and choices and with robust safeguarding procedures. 
• Publicly and democratically run, designed, and delivered locally and co-productively involving service users, disabled people and carers, sector workers, communities, Local Authorities, and the NHS.
• Underpinned by a workforce who have appropriate  training, qualifications, career structure, pay and conditions. 
• Committed to giving informal carers the rights and support they need.
