Community support

Your rights

	Anti-discrimination laws and disability rights It is against the law to treat people unfairly because of disability. The Disability Discrimination Act and other laws are in place to protect your rights.

	Community Visitor Scheme The Disability Community Visitor Scheme (CVS) helps to protect the rights and wellbeing of people with disabilities.

	Making complaints Sometimes, people want to complain if they feel they've been treated unfairly because of their disability or they're unhappy about services they receive.

	Power of attorney and advance directives There may be a time when it's necessary to appoint someone to manage your financial, medical or personal affairs.
