- POWELL Jackie, LOVELOCK Robin
- Journal article citation:
- British Journal of Social Work, 27(4), August 1997, pp.565-583.
- Publisher:
- Oxford University Press
Drawing on an evaluative study of UK participation in a European disability programme (HELIOS I), this article explores the extent to which, and the ways in which, disabled people were involved in the programme as active participants. The findings draw attention to the different perspectives of the programme's various stakeholders and are discussed in relation to two broader themes. The first of these is the involvement of disabled people themselves in any programme aiming to promote the full participation of disabled people in society. The second is the role and value of formalised networks as a means of promoting information exchange and learning as a prerequisite for promoting change in individuals and change in organisations.
