1. Reflections by Dr Simon Duffy
founder of Inclusion Glasgow
at its 20th Birthday Conference: 20:20 Vision
A Vision
for Inclusion

2. • Institutions
• Segregation
• Exclusion
• Abuse
Inspiration can
sometimes come
from reacting
against evil

3. Inclusion, before inclusion…
there’s always more to the story
• Inspiration
• Experimentation

4. Imagining citizenship as another
way to think about ‘services’
• Power
• Community

5. Putting the band together…
everyone needs a bit of luck

6. Stumbling towards a model
of personalised support
• Not ‘brokerage’
• Trust in people
• Trust in community
• Sticking with it

7. Shared management…
• You don’t need to do
everything yourself
• It’s a partnership

8. Success and heartache

9. Trying to pass on what we’ve
learned along the way

10. Growing, changing and splitting up

11. Coming back from time to time…

14. An interesting boring graph

15. • 20 Years - Neighbours Inc (USA)
• 20 Years - Quality Lifestyle Support (Australia)
• 23 Years - Pameijer, Gaandeweg (Netherlands)
• 24 Years - Durham (Canada)
• 25 Years - Spectrum (Canada)
• 25 Years - Community Living (Australia)
We are not alone…

16. • How can we rescue the
welfare state from its
enemies and from itself?
• How can we encourage
citizenship and a more
local welfare state?
• How can we restore
community organisations
to their proper role?
What I’m up to now

17. Times are tough
Westminster has imposed cruel cuts on disabled people
and local government is under press to cut social care.
But progress is real

18. Keep the faith…
10 years ago at
Inclusion’s
10th Anniversary
Conference
Nicola Sturgeon was
depute leader of the
SNP at Holyrood
Change can happen
