In this blog post, Ian Atkinson, founding Director of Involved and Equal CIC, writes about his life, his experience over almost 30 years of addressing inequalities, and his work to centre the voices of disabled people in health and care research.
“How can we change attitudes, improve services or give disabled people the support that they (we) need and crave, without asking them what needs to change, what needs improving and what do they need as individuals?”
