In this blog, Bernd Sass considers ways disabled staff can be encouraged to share their lived experience of disability within a local framework.
Bernd coordinates our Health and Care Voluntary Sector Strategic Partner Programme, which brings the power of the voluntary sector together with the health system, to improve services and promote well-being for all.
It does this by:
- Helping reach the most vulnerable, excluded individuals and communities
- Supporting people to make their diverse needs and voices heard
- Harnessing the expertise of the voluntary sector to inform national policy development
- Driving awareness of the role and potential of the sector
As one of currently 22 strategic partners, Disability Rights UK manages the user-led consortium Win-Win Alliance - disabled people leading change (together with Shaping Our Lives and CHANGE).
