Stressing the crucial role played by disabled people themselves in fulfilling the promise of the worldwide rights movement, the chapters examine this relationship across a variety of themes, stressing the legal elements of each issue, and the extent to which law can assist in strengthening individual rights in that area. The contributors, who are all either academics or other professional experts in their field, write in a jargon free accessible style. The volume will be of interest to lawyers, human rights activists, health care professionals and to disabled people generally. The main areas covered in the volume are: new perspectives on working in partnership with disabled people; the changing attitudes to the rights of people with disabilities across the globe; improvements to the rights of disabled people through legal process, using national and international law; an examination of the rights and entitlement of disabled people to community care, housing, employment, education, and special services for children; disabled people and mental health law; messages from disability research for law, practice and reform implications for research. 606 $aPeople with disabilities$xLegal status, laws, etc$zGreat Britain 606 $aDiscrimination against people with disabilities$xLaw and legislation$zGreat Britain 615 0$aPeople with disabilities$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aDiscrimination against people with disabilities$xLaw and legislation 676 $a346.4101/3 701 $aCooper$b Jeremy$f1950-$0322535 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783050003321 996 $aLaw, rights, and disability$93805226 997 $aUNINA
