How can we efficiently provide access to the services disabled people with support needs require to live independently? Do personal budgets hold the potential to be a gateway to the 18 Pillars of Independent Living? How do personal budget schemes need to be designed to be as effective as possible?
To provide answers to those questions, ENIL embarked on the process of producing a Roadmap on Independent Living, exploring the chances personal budgets provide and finding the determinants for maximum effectiveness.
With the support of our Independent Living Task Force, three sessions took place during which country examples were studied. The resulting insights were supplemented by a review of studies and reports.
Based on that 16 key questions around personal budgets were determined, forming a draft of a Roadmap for Independent Living Service. Key points of these results will be presented here.
On the 27 November 14:00 – 16:00, a consultation session for ENIL members will take place during which it will be possible to give feedback to the results. Based on the feedback, the final document will be prepared.
Upon registration, ENIL members will receive the draft document.
