Scope Open Letter: people with disabilities are controlled, not included

danielleeharvey

To members and all staff concerned,

Please find attached my very honest piece that I wrote under my guest position at the Canary based on my experience as an elected assembly member. I know this view is shared amongst other assembly members and I stand with them all in solidarity. It's bitterly disappointing that we have reached this point and I hope things will improve for all involved and any members currently in receipt of Scope's services, support and communications who may be experiencing issues.

I will keep fighting for better so real progress and development can be made.

Holly - Unsurprisingly, I have received no communication from Scope regarding this. Again for the transparency of this online community, I thought it would be important to share an update considering this Charity prides itself on co-production and working collaboratively with disabled people. I am so unbelievably tired of having to chase things up continuously.
