I'm a longstanding disabled political activist and a leading member of the campaign organisation Act 4 Inclusion. Act 4 Inclusion believes that by using a community based eco-social approach to understand the basic relationships between service users and their environments, it is possible to move away from traditional need-led assessment procedures towards addressing how to create inclusive participation in both local communities and wider society. Having support to make decisions, exercising choice and control are all aspects of inclusive participation. Effective inclusive participation enables individuals and communities to work together to build capacity in shaping and engaging in decision-making processes through coproduction and the development of confidence, skills, knowledge, and experience.
