DCIL values
Our Mission Statement
To secure independent, integrated living opportunities for disabled people, in order to promote our full participation in the mainstream of economic, social and political life in Derbyshire.
Derbyshire Coalition for Inclusive Living (DCIL) is working towards this through our Strategic Plan:
- To promote the voice of Derbyshire & Derby's disabled people through encouraging active membership of the organisation.
- To inform, educate, support and develop members as proponents of their own and other disabled people's independence in daily living activities.
- To campaign actively against the exclusion of disabled people from education, employment, social and political life in Derby and Derbyshire.
- To exemplify and develop model services, publicly funded, in the control of disabled people that demonstrate sustainability in inclusive, community based options.
DCIL and the Social Model of Disability
Derbyshire Coalition for Inclusive Living works to a "social model" of disability.
