Draft Two of the #LBBill:
Draft One of the #LBBill with tracked changes that make up Draft Two:
What follows below is Draft One of the LBBill published in November 2014
The first draft of the LB Bill was launched at the start of November.
We have been really pleased with the discussion and comments so far.
We look forward to more discussion about how the law needs to change.
We think there are two key things that must change. We wish to:
- make it a legal reality for disabled people to be fully included in their communities
- make it harder for the State to force disabled people to leave their homes against their wishes, or the wishes of their families.
There are five documents you can download and read (right click on the image).

Explanatory Notes about the #LBBill
Draft One of the #LBBill
This really is a first draft and we are seeking your thoughts, comments and feedback.
The draft will change in response to what you tell us and we will write a new version early in 2015.
Please download the documents, share them far and wide, and let us know what you think.
You can tweet us @JusticeforLB, discuss it on our facebook group, or send us an email to LBBillFeedback@gmail.com.
Our campaign has been entirely crowdsourced, we are relying on interested people to help us develop what the #LBBill should say. Please share your ideas with us about how you will collect views and input, so we can share those ideas with others.
Please pledge your support for the principles of the Bill here so we can make it to our first 1,000. Thank you.
