If there are serious concerns about a child’s safety, a child protection conference is arranged. Find out how our Advocate supported Liam to understand the process and to attend and share his views. Liam’s Advocate also helped him to build his skills and confidence to advocate for himself, and Liam now feels able to share his views himself. https://buff.ly/3VWSlWx #ChildrensSafeguardingWeek #SafeguardingChildren

Today, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Supreme Court Olmstead decision, which transformed the rights of individuals with disabilities. The decision established that keeping people with disabilities in institutions without justification is illegal discrimination. The story of the Olmstead case begins with Lois Curtis and Elaine Wilson, two individuals with mental health and developmental disabilities, who were voluntarily admitted to the psychiatric unit in the State-run Georgia Regional Hospital. Following treatment, mental health professionals stated that they were ready to move to a community-based program. However, the women remained confined in the institution for several years after the initial treatment was concluded. They filed suit under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for release from the hospital. On June 22, 1999, the U.S. Supreme Court made a landmark decision in Olmstead v. L.C. The decision determined that keeping people with disabilities separate from others in the community without reason is discrimination under the ADA. The court decided that people with disabilities have the right to get state-funded support and services in the community rather than institutions. This decision was monumental in helping establish the rights of disabled individuals to live and receive services in integrated settings, enabling millions of people with disabilities to live, work, and receive services in their own homes and communities.
