On this, the 29th annual International Day of People with Disabilities, Abacus Care & Support is delighted to mark the occasion by showing our support and raising awareness for the advocacy of people with disabilities.
In 1992 the UN announced that every 3rd December would mark the International Day of People with Disabilities. We want to use this one day to fuel and inspire us to champion the lives of those living with disabilities every day.
Will you support the values of IDPWD? and join us in our commitment to:
- CELEBRATE the diversity of the community we live in, acknowledging and appreciating our differences and readily contributing to that community*, whatever our ability
- LEARN from those living with disability and striving to deepen our understanding as a result
- be OPTIMISTIC about where we’re heading, helping to create a world where people are characterised by their ability and not their disability
- take ACTION, showing our support for the needs and value of people with disabilities in our area**, today and everyday
What is our part to play?
At Abacus Care & Support, we want to continue to ensure that our staff are well equipped and trained to be the best domiciliary care providers they can be for the sake of our clients living with disability. We know that providers of at home/ domiciliary care need to be skilled and sensitive to provide excellent care. That’s why we want to commit to enabling a strong and healthy dialogue between our clients living with disabilities, their families and our care providers so that we empower the voices that need to be heard in order to improve our services.
You can find out more about the International Day of People with Disabilities by exploring the organisation’s website which has been the inspiration and source for this blog.
