Author Information

Wendy is a leading self-advocate, disability activist and consultant, and she runs her own organisation: See Me As Me. She is the UK's leading champion for self-directed support and individual budgets for people with learning disabilities. As an activist she has trained widely on direct payments, disability inclusion, person-centred planning, information accessibility, self-advocacy, self-determination, as well as evaluation and leadership training for people with learning difficulties. Simon is an activist working for a world where everyone matters. Over the past 30 years he has been involved in many practical projects to help people with learning disabilities take their place as full citizens. In 1996, Simon founded Inclusion Glasgow to provide individualised support to people with complex disabilities. He pioneered a new approach where every individual and family were supported to design their own support, in their own home, with their own budget and as active contributors to their community. Since the 2016 founding of Citizen Network, Simon’s work has focused more on growing new forms of action to create the world we need in the face of climate breakdown and species extinction. He co-founded the UBI Lab Network, which advocates for economic security in the form of a guaranteed basic income for all. He also co-founded the Neighbourhood Democracy Movement, which advocates for meaningful democratic action in every community. Today, Simon is President of Citizen Network as well as its Research Director. Simon has a doctorate in philosophy and writes about theology, ethics and social justice.
