This article compares the social model of disability with the individual model upon which the Government's Disability Discrimination Bill is based. It use Foucault's concepts of Power/Knowledge and Governance, to develop an analysis which illustrates how both models of disability can impact on the identities of disabled people and local government practices. It suggests that, in order to assist disabled people to 'fashion a purpose', those disabled people and their allies working in local government need to operationalise the social model.

Awareness of, attitudes to, and practices used to promote, equality and diversity vary across England's councils. There is a tendency to equate diversity with race, especially in rural areas with smaller numbers of people from visible minority ethnic groups. Whilst gender and disability were also considered important issues by some councils, age, sexuality and religion received markedly less attention. Overall there is a perception that some aspects of diversity may be easier to tackle than others: for example, physical access to buildings for people with disabilities seems to be regarded as less contentious than race issues. Councils also report that the legal requirements relating to race, and to some extent disability, channel efforts towards these issues, often at the expense of a broader approach to equality and diversity.
