The Tipping Point project aims to promote involvement of disabled people in disability organisations through sharing experience and good practice.
 
Through analysis of a survey and case studies, the report identifies ten tools for change based on the experiences of disabled people.  RADAR intends to develop these tools further in the future.
 
Tipping Point was set up by RADAR and the research was completed by Paul Robson and Becky Rice at the University of East London.
 
Tipping Point intends to: 
  • Identify user-centred user involvement / control activity
  • Identify, develop and share why user-centred user involvement / control is important from a disabled person’s point of view
  • Identify what works for managers and trustees
  • Identify different motivations for developing user involvement / control
  • Identify methods for implementing user involvement / control at different levels and for different activities and in different situations
  • Clarify and develop criteria for defining user-centred user involvement / control
  • Develop tools for change based on the experience of disabled people.
