The demise of the Independent Living Fund is another example of how public policy on independent living is rapidly going backwards in the Britain. I've done a blogpost about the likely consequences. http://jennymorrisnet.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/what-will-closure-of-independent-living.html A Judicial Review has been granted of the government’s consultation on the closure and is due to be heard on March 13th. Disabled People Against the Cuts are organising a vigil outside the court in London. There's a link to their website n my blogpost for anyone who would like to know more. I've also given a link to some really good videos which have been made of some disabled people talking about what a difference ILF funding has made to their lives and their fears for the future. ________________End of message________________ This Disability-Research Discussion list is managed by the Centre for Disability Studies at the University of Leeds (www.leeds.ac.uk/disability-studies).
