During 1991 and early 1992 many disabled people contacted RADAR as they were having difficulty obtaining social services from local authorities. The increase in the number of complaints greatly concerned RADAR which considered concentrated work was required to address the reasons for the difficulties.

Summary

RADAR established a two year project, financed by the Nuffield Provincial Hospitals Trust, with the aim of ensuring that all disabled people receive the services to which they have a statutory right. In the longer term the objective is to clarify once and for all the mandatory nature of Section 2 of the 1970 Act, and to ensure that Social Services Departments are aware of and fulfil their duties under the legislation.
