PEOPLE WTH DISABILITES SHOULD HAVE SUPPORT TO HAVE THEIR OWN CHOCIES IN THEIR LIVES.

Since I have been working with Our Shout support by Mencap, I have learned about Person Centre plan, which we have a meeting about every couple of months or so, we call it the PCP meeting.
Main stream people should support people with disabilities to have the rights of the choices they want in their lives. For; eg
  • Where they live.
  • Where they receive Health care.
  • Where they receive education.
  • What kind of job they would like and where they would like to work.
  • Where they would like to socialise, who their friends, boyfriends and girlfriends are.

We all agree that people with disabilities need more protection and support from people without disabilities. Life isn't just full of risks for people with disabilities. Society mustn't lock people with disabilities away from the world. There should be people around in case they need any support with any problems but not to hold their hands twenty four hours a day.
