Summary: "The IHC Advocacy Toolkit has been developed to help people in local communities advocate for people with an intellectual disability. Families, staff members, volunteers and IHC members regularly request a variety of information from the advocacy team based in Wellington. This toolkit is designed to be a community advocacy resource which is easily accessed by a range of people. The toolkit contains a series of information sheets on topics and issues which are of common concern and interest in the lives of people with intellectual disability. These information sheets have been developed by the IHC Advocacy team. The team will develop further information sheets over time on new topics (on request or as needed) and will update information on existing sheets when required. The toolkit also contains a selection of resources from other organisations on a variety of topics. These resources are known to be extremely helpful and reliable sources of information on a range of topics relevant to people with intellectual disability of all ages and stages." - INTRODUCTION
