DFI Self-Advocacy Project - Information Session

16 February 2022, 11:00am - 12:30pm

Our Members have been engaged in self-advocacy work with service users/owners for a long time.

In an effort to support our members, and build capacity in this area, we are delighted to announce that DFI is delivering a Self-Advocacy Project over the next four years in partnership with our members.

We would like to invite members to attend an information session on-line to introduce you to the project and invite your participation. Whether your organisation is experienced or just getting started, your participation and your input will be very welcome.  

The Meeting will take place on MS Teams on:

Wednesday, 16 February from 11am to 12.30pm

To register please go to our Eventbrite page here.

Our overall objective is for DFI Members to have access to the supports and resources they need to embed self-advocacy in their organisations, and that  self-advocates will gain the confidence to contribute more effectively in framing their services. We also hope that over the course of the project, self-advocates will also  of opportunities to influence and direct our advocacy work in DFI.   

DFI will employ core community development values and standards to this project and actions will be underpinned by the principles of the UNCRPD.
