Notas do Editor
Putting people first ticks many boxes in the sense that it attempts to recognise that disabled people need to be fully integrated into the communities they live in. That they are not mere dependents but in most cases they provide as with other minority groups a significant pool of social capital. This aim cannot be realised without infrastructures being created to enable disabled people;-
-To facilitate independence. To act as a forum for the exchange of views and development of policy.
To act as a friendly critic of governmental practice as the local regional and national level.
- To be advocates which includes self-advocacy for people with disabilities, on an individual and collective basis. Self advocacy is about dignity, arguing your own case is as important as managing your own resources.
-Which links into the issue of resources. A confident community of interest represents a community of experts who know what they need and how those resources would enable them to seamlessly integrate into society.

Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006- its significance
he Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 was passed as a result of the Bichard Inquiry arising from the Soham murders in 2002, when the schoolgirls Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells were murdered by Ian Huntley (a school caretaker).
The Inquiry questioned the way employers recruit people to work with vulnerable groups, and particularly the way background checks are carried out. Recommendation 19 of the Inquiry Report highlighted the need for a single agency to vet all individuals who want to work or volunteer with children or vulnerable adults and to bar unsuitable people from doing so.
The Act was created in response to recommendation 19 and the ISA was set up to fulfil this role across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. (Scotland will set up its own similar authority linked to the ISA.
