Inclusion Scotland 'Homes for Life' - Accessible & Affordable Housing in Scotland

Tuesday 17th June 2008, Glasgow Hilton

Why this conference needs to happen now!
It is recognised that there is a vast shortage of accessible, affordable housing in Scotland.
There doesn't seem to be any meaningful commitment by planners, builders or politicians to provide 'homes for life' for the one million disabled people in Scotland. This will mean that many disabled people will continue to live in houses that are inaccessible to them or inadequate for their needs.

Not only do we want this done 'for us', we also want to be part of the process by being involved and engaged at every stage of the planning, design and provision process. In other words - 'nothing about us, without us'.

Who should attend this conference?
  • Housing associations
  • Local authorities
  • Voluntary organisations
  • Disabled people's organisations
  • Builders, planners and architects
  • Policy and decision makers
  • Health and social work professionals
  • Anyone concerned bout the provision of accessible housing

A conference programme is already available together with a booking form. For more information contact Donna McSwiggan on 0141 887 7090
