Hello,
Although I've joined the list (which incidentally I find very interesting) a
few months ago, this is my first contribution to the discussion. I am a
27-year old graduate in Management and Public Policy, and am currently
working within a Social Work Service for disabled persons and their families
(which in turn is part of any Agency that provides services for disabled
people). My current role within the team (according to my current job
description) is mainly administrative, but since I use a wheelchair and am
quite involved within the disability field in Malta (the country I come
from), we were thinking of shifting the focus of my job a bit more towards
disability advocacy.
My question is the following: what role/s do you think a disabled advocate
could/should have within a service such as the one mentioned above?
Thank you.
Ronald Balzan (Malta)
