Our Values

There are five key values or principles that inform the work of Radical Visions:

We are all the same: We share a common humanity uncompromised by the extent of any disability or disadvantage we have, undiluted by any requirement we have for additional help and support.

We are all different: Our claim to our own unique personality is not determined by an assessment of any deficits we are perceived to have, but is upheld by the mere fact of our humanity.

We are all of equal value: Our claim that all human beings have equal value and status is confirmed by right within international and domestic law. It is illegal to treat me as less than human, or to treat me as less significant or important than other human beings, on account of any disability I might have.

We all have legal capacity: Each of us has the same legal capacity as each other in all aspects of our lives and each of us requires the appropriate level and type of support in decision-making that will allow us to sustain our legal capacity, no matter how severe our disability.

We all need each other: Interpersonal relationships are vital to our personal development. Serious constrictions in our relationships undermine our health and well-being and are ultimately life-threatening. This is all the more true for those who face the risk of losing relationships through institutionalisation.
