Align the UK disability system with the EGL approach

The Enabling Good Lives (EGL) approach, successfully piloted in New Zealand, provides a model for enhancing the quality of life for disabled people by focusing on individualised support, community inclusion and systemic change.

I witnessed firsthand the transformative impact it can have on the lives of people with disabilities. One of the most striking changes was how the EGL approach empowered people to take control of their own lives, making choices about their support and services that truly reflected their personal needs and aspirations. 

I believe adopting the EGL approach in the UK could replicate these successes and lead to a brighter, more equitable future for disabled individuals nationwide.

I recommend:

By embracing the EGL principles, these organisations can provide more personalised, holistic and integrated services that truly support the wellbeing of people with disabilities.
