Easy Read Legal Guide and FAQs for ILF Users

15 July 2015 by Val Bowen

An Easy Read Version is now available of this guide which has been written to help Independent Living Fund ( ILF ) users understand legal and practical issues about community care assessments and support and how it will apply to them following the closure of the ILF in June 2015. It is also aimed at other adults with high support needs who may not have had support from ILF. The guide has been prepared by Kate Whittaker, consultant solicitor at Scott-Moncrieff & Associates and a trustee at Disability Sheffield together with ILF users, Inclusion London and Disability Sheffield Centre for Independent Living. Individuals and local groups are welcome to re-use extracts and are free to copy it and send it round by email. If extracts of the paper are used in other publications please state that the content was taken from this guide. The guide is on the factsheets page of Disability Sheffield’s website ( alongside the original ) and is also available to download on the ILF and Inclusion London websites. View Guide

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
