People are stuck in institutions with no hope for Coming Home


Listen Later

The recently published Coming Home Implementation Report has caused concern for people with disabilities, their families, and disability organisations. We speak with a panel of experts on how the report signals yet another failure of the system to meaningfully change the culture within it. Another opportunity lost to ensure that individuals can be given the necessary provision to ensure they can live in their own communities. 

The panel also discusses the actions which can still be taken to reassure citizens that change is happening.  This roundtable discussion welcomes C-Change Chief Executive, Sam Smith, journalist and campaigner, Michael McEwan, disability activist, Jim Elderwood-Ward, and Ruth Hughes, mum to Gordon who has been stuck in an institution for longer than he needs to be. The conversation is led by ALLIANCE Chief Officer Sara Redmond.   

This podcast was recorded on Friday 28th October 2022.
