UNITED KINGDOM AND EIRE

Readers of this booklet will realise that it was originally published in Australia. For this reason the sources of further information, listed in chapter fifteen, do not all apply in the United Kingdom and Eire.

However, there are likely to be local equivalents of some of the agencies listed. Your local Citizen's Advice Bureau may be able to help and more and more local self-help advice centres for and of people with disabilities are being set up around the country. They may be able to advise you of local facilities, such as Disabled Living Centres, where practical advice and access to displays will be available.
