I would like to update all of you about Heidi’s court case – I wrote about it in the last People 1st Newsletter.  People First (Self Advocacy) Newsletter - May 2022 (mailchi.mp)

 

The court hearing is taking place on 13th July – We understand that Heidi has asked the court judges to speak up about  disabled and non-disabled unborn babies equal right to life for a second time.   Heidi got the chance to speak to the court judges on 8th March. 

 

We would love all of you to support Heidi.    It be great if you can support.   You can come to the court and support  Heidi.   If you cannot come to the court, you can send your messages of support.  We will make sure all messages of support will be seen and heard by Heidi at the High court.  

 

Please follow the Reclaiming Our Futures Alliance web-link  on how you can support Heidi.

The DLA and Workfare Scandals.

This ConDem Coalition is exploiting the apparent helplessness of disabled people by taking essential money away from them and forcing vulnerable people, for example, people with mental health difficulties. I remember, when I was a practising social worker, the horror experienced by service users when they received a letter summoning them to undergo a medical examination (25 miles away in Norwich). Some became absolutely terrified at the prospect and the stress of having to get to and face the appointment led to one or two relapses and hospital admissions. Against local authority policy, I always took them to the appointment, went in with them and supported them through the interview acting as advocate. The doctors at these reviews were employed by the Benefits Agency and usually retired from practice. They were also usually empathic with the service user and mostly helped to reduce the terror of the interview. The new 'Workfare' reviews which every DLA claimant will have to und...

Mental Health Labels?

I read this valuable little report yesterday. It presents issues and dichotomies around disability labels, models of disability and rejections of the disability label by mental health service users/survivors. The report makes positive recommendations about furthering the debate but, in my opinion, the user contributions muddy rather than clarify matters. The subjects are seminal to the work being carried out to integrate physically, sensory, mental health and intellectual disabilities - essential if we are to progress further in our strivings for human and statutory rights. For me, the report is enormously helpful in providing a foundation for discussions of what are important questions and perhaps, if properly distributed, it could bring a better focus towards some resolution.
