We need to 'voice' our concerns assertively of where we stand within 'Nothing About Us, Without Us' and ‘Whistle-blow’ to the Charities Commission, that now all Charities have to now legally show due diligence in working 'With-Us', Not 'For-Us' and are accountable 'To-Us'.

“User-Involvement, No More Rhetoric, Tokenism and Excuses; It’s time to ‘go-beyond’ policies and procedures towards ‘Implementation’!!!”
From the Charities Commission website:- http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk
Policy Statement on Mergers, Collaborative Working and Due Diligence:- http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/enhancingcharities/merge.asp
This Charities Commission policy statement is very important within what we're trying to implement within our work within the Disabled peoples', NeuroDiversity, Mental Health ‘Survivors’ and Inclusion movements and our ULO’s.
We need to 'voice' our concerns assertively of where we stand within 'Nothing About Us, Without Us' and ‘whistle-blow’ to the Charities Commission, that now all Charities have to now legally show due diligence in working 'With-Us', Not 'or-us' and are accountable 'to-us'.
As I’ve said all Charities are now fully legally accountable, under Charities Act 2006 to All Disabled People and all their ULO's, as like Hull and East Riding Mental Health Action Group:- http://www.survivors.karoo.net
Reforming the Legal and Regulatory Framework - taking forward the Strategy Unit Review ‘Private Action, Public Benefit’:-
http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/spr/cor1.asp
As you can read in 2002 the Cabinet Office Strategy Unit carried out a wide-ranging review of the legal and regulatory framework of the not-for-profit sector, of which charities form the major part. The review’s objectives were to:
enable existing and new not-for-profit organisations to thrive and grow;
to encourage the development of new types of organisation; and
http://www.survivors.karoo.net/articles.html to ensure public confidence in the sector
The result of this review was within report, ‘Private Action, Public Benefit’, published on 25 September 2002, and containing a number of recommendations, some of which required legislation. The Government published its response to these recommendations in July 2003, and on 26 November 2003 the publication of a draft Charities Bill was announced in the Queen’s Speech
The five crucial themes in these proposals which impact on the Disabled Peoples', NeuroDiversity, Mental Health 'Survivors' and Inclusion movements are as follows:-
accountability and information – making both charities and their achievements, and the regulation provided by the Charity Commission, more accountable to the public;
clarity – the new proposals about charitable status will make it easier and simpler to understand what is charitable in law;
modernisation – the proposals preserve our ability to adapt what is charitable to the demands and needs of modern society;
a new fillip for social enterprise – both through the new purpose of promoting community interest and through providing new or better working precedents, which are more realistically attuned to the delivery of sochttp://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/spr/cor1.aspial enterprise;
a sense of proportion in regulation– the bill will enable greater freedom for charities in areas like expenditure of capital, coupled with duties of care on trustees.
The vision of a purposeful regulator, sited independently at arms’ length from the sector and government.
***So this clearly means accountability towards ALL Disabled People and their ULO's....., especially ‘in-line’ with 26.9.07 - DoH/CSIP's Prime Ministers Improving Life Chances meetings and final report: http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Policyandguidance/Healthandsocialcaretopics/Socialcare/DH_076662
As Tara Flood, ALLFIE:- http://www.allfie.org.uk/, as stated to me that the is ‘good and bad’ research out-there, that needs to be self-regulated and monitored, sustainable and implemented under the full control and hands of ALL Disabled People and their ULO’s.
This reminded me of The Secret History Of User Involvement , Part 1 and 2, by Peter Beresford.
Peter Beresford is Professor of Social Policy at Brunel University and long-term service user. See link below:-

As the author of this article, then it’s time for ‘respect and dignity’ of “User-Involvement, No More Rhetoric, Tokenism and Excuses; It’s time to ‘go-beyond’ policies and procedures towards ‘Implementation’!!!
“Nothing About Us, Without Us, At All”
