Disability Services Consumer Forum
Consumer Forums and Consortium evolved from the recommendations of the Consumer Participation Project conducted in 2004 as part of the Disability Services Directorate's implemention of the NZ Disability Strategy.
The aim of the project was to establish ways of increasing consumer participation and to ensure input into the Directorate's activities. Feedback and evaluation in 2004, as well as feedback from Forums held in early 2005 and again in 2006 and 2007, show widespread support within the disability sector for the Forums and consortiums to continue.
This year it is intended that the consumer Forums will be used to gain feedback on Disability Services strategic priorities. Two hours has been allocated for each Forum. It is anticipated that strategic planning feedback will take up to an hour.
