Dear Steven
I became CEO of BCODP in 2001 and it had already made the name change by that date. But I don't know at what earlier date it did.
Best wishes
Andy Rickell

Subject: BCODP name change question
Does anyone know when the BCODP dropped the "organisations of" from its title to become simply the British Council of Disabled People?
There seems to have been something of an erasure of history here - while, with a bit of searching, it is not *too* hard to find out when the BCODP ceased to be the BCODP and became the UKDPC, every site I can find online that mentions the acronym BCODP at all claims that it was founded in 1981 as the 'British Council of Disabled People' - but I know from several earlier sources that it was founded as the British Council of *Organisations of* Disabled People.
Colin Barnes and Geoff Mercer's 2006 book 'Independent Futures'
mentions that it changed its name, but does not give either a "when"
or a "why" (though it at least implicitly tells me it was before 2006).
I can't find anything in the archives of the CDS or of 'Disability and Society' either.
Can anyone help? Is there any documentation of this?
