Considerations Considerations have been identified to support the next stage of the Demonstration: A review of the Demonstration communication plan and other operational procedures to explore ways to strengthen communication and delivery, such as: Ensuring key messages reach participants in a timely manner, such as updates on the development of tools to support self-management (financial and human resource management processes). Ensuring information on the EGL principles is shared with communities, to raise awareness and connections, and realise people’s desire and ability to contribute as citizens. Ensuring resources are available to participants so they can self-advocate, and raise the profile and reach of the EGL approach. A review of the supported self-assessment tool to ensure ease of use by removing repetitiveness. Enhance data collection processes to ensure the right data is collected at the right times, as a tool to support delivery. Reflect on the mechanisms the Demonstration can leverage to highlight legislative and system barriers that impact disabled people, families and whānau. Some examples are: The impact of legislation on the ability for disabled people, families and whānau to recruit and employ appropriate people to provide assistance. For example, the impact of additional income earned by support workers while on government financial support. The timeliness and responsiveness of funded equipment and the effect this has on participants’ ability to sustain a good life. The interface between Government Ministries such as the Ministry of Health and Child Youth and Family regarding disabled children in need of care and protection. The negative impact of differing agency approaches can have on the lives of disabled people, families and whānau. Some families expressed the need for time and to change their ways of thinking about what is possible after years of being told many things were outside their reach.
