Have your say about a Single Umbrella Group for the Disability Sector

‘United we stand, divided we fall’ is an old saying that is getting a new breath of life in the discussion about the establishment of a single umbrella group for the disability support sector in New Zealand.

The meeting is intended to provide you with an opportunity to consider the benefits of this proposed development to follow on from a discussion paper commissioned by a board composed of chairs of NRID, VASS, SLNZ and ASENZ authored by Jan Dowland.

We want to hear your views about the pros and cons of the concept and your ideas about building the reality of a single umbrella (or peak) body that adds value to your organisation and the disabled people we serve.

Read the executive summary of the discussion paper in this website.

We gratefully acknowledge Spectrum Care for offering this free forum
