Sheffield Centre For Independent Living

Working with a number of civil society disabled people’s organisations, the Office for Disability Issues has set up a Network of Networks to enable two-way communication between disabled people and the government.  Sheffield Centre for Independent Living is part of the Network of Networks and wants to give Sheffield’s disabled people the opportunity to influence Government decision-making on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Independent Living Strategy by taking part in their consultation. The consultation responses will then help inform the Government’s response in the UN Convention’s 2011 report, as well as the Independent Living Strategy Group’s Annual Report.  We would like as many disabled people as possible to be involved in the consultation and there are a number of ways that you can do so .
