Hello Susanne
Thank you for your reply.
I know civil servants will decide, but... I suppose the task is to ensure
that we bureaucrats have to make our decisions using a knowledge
constructed by disabled peoples' organisations - that is, a social model of
disability. Given that bureaucracies are governed by written policy and
procedure, the trick will be to construct such policies and procedures by
operating within (and strengthening) the power / knowledge of a social
model. I know that disabled peoples' organisations and disabled people
working within government can to do this. Of course, the question remains
- to what extent?
Nevertheless, it might be useful to note that not all of us disabled people
have 'internalised the oppression of the said structure'.
Regards
Alden Chadwick
