About Compass Disability Services
Compass Disability Services is an innovative, enlightened and positive organisation. Its mission is "to enable disabled people to have equality of opportunity".
Compass Disability Services is a user led organisation and our Board of Trustees, who are elected by our users, is comprised of at least 80% disabled people. We have adopted the Social Model of Disability as a way of working to remove barriers which exclude disabled people from equality of opportunity.
Our Values and Beliefs
• We promote independence, choice and control
• We support equality of opportunity for all people
• We operate within and promote the Social Model of Disability
• We aim to empower and enable disabled people
• We promote equal access and inclusion to all services and facilities
• We adopt a partnership working approach
• We are a non-campaigning organisation
Compass Disability Services works through consultation, representation and service provision to fulfil our mission. We work in partnership with local government, the Health Service, Social Services, other voluntary sector and charitable organisations and anyone else who can benefit from our knowledge and expertise.
