This website has been created in the continued effort to bring together many facts concerning local and national facilities and sources of help for people with disabilities in Hereford, Herefordshire.
What is ABLE
ABLE is a free, impartial and confidential service of information, advice and, in some cases, practical help. ABLE provides one focal point of contact for the multitude of questions, which can confront a person with a disability.
Who can use ABLE?
Anyone with a query or problem connected with any aspect of disability, for instance:
- Disabled people, their families, friends and carers
- Professionals: doctors, social workers, architects, therapists, educationalists
- Voluntary and statutory agencies, students and researchers
How is the service available?
By telephone, fax, writing, email, personal visit or the Internet. Queries are dealt with directly wherever possible and backed up by documentary information as appropriate. Confidentiality is respected in all cases. It is not necessary for the inquirer's name to be taken unless there is a need to research the answer and re-contact the inquirer.
What kind of question can be answered?
The kind of questions which commonly arise fall into the following categories:
- Income and benefits (Welfare Rights and Legislation)
- Equipment, aids and appliances
- Leisure activities, holidays and travel
- Access and mobility
- Housing, accommodation, and adaptations
- Education and employment
- Rehabilitation and training
- Voluntary organisations and their work
- Local welfare services
- Personal relationships and related problems
- Information about specific impairments
- Personal help and care
Some questions may fall outside the competence of ABLE to answer fully, e.g: questions requiring medical knowledge. In such cases an appropriate referral can be suggested. |
