There are many reasons for creating a directory of local community groups and activities. One reason is to support disabled persons access a life beyond the formal education, health and social care they receive. But this only works if the directory is a full and balanced reflection of the local community. I have been examining this issue in relation to SEND Local Offer Directories in England. Is anyone else interested in the questions arising from this? For example, why do community groups decline to submit their data? What is the best way to operate a partnership between informal community groups and statutory organisations? How do we benchmark the reach of the directory so that we can see if intersectional factors affect its representation of the community?
