National umbrella organisation for voluntary and non-statutory agencies
which provide direct services to people with an intellectual disability.
Members are voluntary and religious bodies that have a clear vision rooted
in the respect for, and the dignity of, the person. It consists of 61 affiliates
who provide approximately 80% of this country’s direct service provision
for people with an intellectual disability. The objective of the Federation
is to promote equality of opportunity for persons in the care of member
organisations through the provision, maintenance and development of
appropriate high-quality services. This is achieved through information
sharing and through the development and promotion of codes of best
practice. The Federation also acts as a lobbying agent on a national and
international basis and works in co-operation with advocacy organisations
on behalf of persons with an intellectual disability.
