Holding events like this is useful to raise the awareness of issues that face people with disabilities. Such events also help to raise the profile of the issues.
Although interesting and informative, too many speakers at one time - a lot of information to take in.
Enjoyed the speakers & made good contacts for the Tenant Participation Team as well as possible articles for Fife Council's Tenants Magazine 'Down Your Street'.
Very interesting. Can you get a copy of John Mills slides, put them in a DPHS Fife newsletter, this will allow more people to get an overview on whats happening on Housing in Fife.

Please find below the slides from the event along with Lothian Centre for Inclusive Living's report 'It's just us'
