WHERE TO FIND INFORMATION: A STARTER GUIDE

This guide is not for information sophisticates, but is an invaluable guide for beginners. It aims to arm those who do not quite know where to begin with a simple and basic road map to find their way through the information maze. But, as the authors say at the outset, information rarely comes to you. You have to seek it out.

Part One outlines the main information resources and adds something about legal rights to information and the balance between freedom of access and data protection. Part Two concentrates on special subjects: disability, health, money, young people, homelessness, and what you really need to know as a consumer.

46 A4 pages. Compiled by Derek Kinrade and Philip Wark, and stunningly illustrated by Chris Bazeley.

Published in association with The Community Services Group of The Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals - CILIP

FIND THE HELP YOU NEED

A web resource for disabled refugees and asylum seekers and those who advise or support them.

Updated November 2008 & March 2010, this is a new guide for everyone able to advise or support disabled refugees and asylum seekers or for the individuals themselves.

The word ‘disabled’ implies a lack of ability, which is simply not true. Those whom we call disabled all have ability: it is simply that some physical or mental condition, to a greater or lesser degree, interferes in some way with their functioning. What they need is help to make the most of their abilities.

This guide therefore has two aims:
• to signpost help available in the UK
• to offer reassurance that such help can be sought without fear.
