A fair start

We highly recommend you download this 60 page PDF, A  Fair Start written by Pippa Murray and edited by Simon Duffy, Jon Glasby, and Catherine Needham.

A  Fair Start proposes that local and national leaders work with families and communities to provide a Personalised Pathway for the care, education and support of disabled children and their families, that will enable children with the most significant disadvantages to get a fair start in life.

If we examine the current system of welfare of disabled children we see the good intentions of all thwarted by the incoherence, opacity, rigidity and complexity of the current system.If we examine what people really need then we see that this help must be personalised.  This is not just financial control, it is more about respecting the very fabric of family life – their strengths, relationships and communities – building on the family’s Real Wealth.

Families do not want to do everything for themselves – but they want real relationships which are based on trust and enable the best solutions for their particular needs.
