How were the guidelines created?

Inclusion International and Down Syndrome International's networks worked together to create the guidelines.

​

350 organisations from 100 different countries contributed to the work.

We got the information we needed by:
 

  • Collecting stories through a global survey in 10 languages online and in Easy Read. 
     

  • Supporting our members to run 60 consultation meetings with self-advocates to learn about their experiences
     

  • Asking for feedback from experts on topics like inclusion of people with higher support needs 

​​

  • Working with a reference group of people with intellectual disabilities, their families, and other experts to help review the guidelines and give feedback at every stage

​​

  • Testing the guidelines through 7 projects to make sure the advice was good.
