Abstract
In the previous chapter I discussed the influence the social model has had not simply on the consciousness of disabled people but also on welfare provision and professional practice. In this chapter I shall focus on another ‘big idea’, that of citizenship. I shall consider it in the context of the re-structuring of state welfare that is currently going on and consider its problems and potential in respect of disabled peoples’ struggles to live independently.
