How can we ensure that our housing system fully supports the goal of promoting independent living?

How can we increase the supply of affordable and accessible homes, including promoting home ownership amongst disabled people?

Between 1997 and 2004, the numbers of homeless households considered priority due to ‘physical disabilities’ increased by 24 per cent and due to mental health problems by 65 per cent.

In England, people with impairments and long term health conditions are more likely than others to be living in housing that does not meet the ‘decent homes standard’.

Only about half of disabled children live in suitable housing and 70 per cent of families with a disabled child say their housing is unsatisfactory.

23 per cent of disabled adults are living in unsuitable housing.

Many disabled adults living in institutional settings, supported housing or with relatives, are unable to establish sufficient ‘points’ for social housing, preventing their move to independent life.

How can we best secure disabled people's safety in the community?

How can we ensure disabled people feel that the criminal justice system is on their side?

Research by Mencap found that nine out of ten people with a learning disability reported having experienced harassment.

One in four disabled people fear being alone after dark, compared with one in ten non-disabled people.

Eight per cent of disabled people in London suffered a violent attack during 2001/2 compared with four per cent of non-disabled people.

Research by Greater London Action on Disability (GLAD) found that ‘The attacks have a major impact on disabled people. Around a third have had to avoid specific places and change their usual routine. One in four has moved home as a result of the attack. Many disabled people are not confident that the police can help to stop the incidents.’

Disabled women, and disabled people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transsexual or from ethnic minority communities may face additional fears or harassment.

What more can be done to secure equality for disabled people in the jobs market?

How can the welfare state be reformed to support disabled people who can get into jobs, whilst offering a decent standard of living and wellbeing for those who can’t?

Of the total number of people of working age out of work in Britain, 40 per cent are disabled.

Only 51 per cent of disabled people are in work, falling to 21 per cent of people with a mental health condition and 17 per cent of people with a learning disability.

Almost a third of working-age disabled adults live in income poverty. This is higher than a decade ago, double the rate for working age non-disabled adults and higher than the rates for either pensioners or children.

68 per cent of households with children where both parents are out of work include at least one disabled parent and 32 per cent of lone parents.

For disabled people with a higher education qualification, the ‘lacking but wanting work’ rate of 14 per cent is actually higher than the ‘lacking but wanting work’ rate of non-disabled peopl

How can we increase opportunities for disabled people to actively participate in public and community life?

Disabled people represent 20 per cent of the population but have a particularly low representation in public appointments – currently an average of around three per cent across England, Scotland and Wales.

Only six per cent of all volunteers are disabled people.

The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) does not cover volunteering, and schemes such as Access to Work are not available for public or civic appointments.

Real or perceived disincentives in the benefits system prevent significant numbers from contributing to society in ways other than paid employment.

Central Government initiatives to promote ‘active citizenship’ have tended to characterise disabled people principally as beneficiaries, rather than untapped contributors.
