4. Scottish Recovery Network | 2015 What is recovery? Recovery IS A unique and individual experience A journey for some; a destination for others A good life: with or without symptoms Focused on what can do, not what you can’t Recovery ISN’T Just about having a job An excuse to cut services An unrealistic dream or fad A one size fits all model

5. Scottish Recovery Network | 2015 Human rights model of disability The human rights approach to disability… acknowledges persons with disabilities as subjects of rights and the State and others as having responsibilities to respect these persons. It treats the barriers in society as discriminatory and provides avenues for persons with disabilities to complain when they are faced with such barriers… [it] is not driven by compassion, but by dignity and freedom. It seeks ways to respect, support and celebrate human diversity by creating the conditions that allow meaningful participation by a wide range of persons, including persons with disabilities. Instead of focusing on persons with disabilities as passive objects of charitable acts, it seeks to assist people to help themselves so that they can participate in society, in education, at the workplace, in political and cultural life, and defend their rights through accessing justice.

Scottish Recovery Network | 2015 Recovery and the human rights model of disability Paradigm shifts Person centred and strengths-based Strong focus on equality, autonomy, self- determination, non-discrimination, inclusion and empowerment Recognise people with lived experience as equals Aimed at enabling full, equal and meaningful participation

7. Scottish Recovery Network | 2015 PANEL Principles: a rights-based approach P articipation Everyone has the right to participate in decisions which affect them. It must be active, free, meaningful and give attention to issues of accessibility, including access to information in a form and a language which can be understood. A ccountability Effective monitoring of human rights standards and remedies for breaches. There must be appropriate laws, policies, institutions, administrative procedures and mechanisms of redress in order to secure rights. N on- discrimination All forms of discrimination in the realisation of rights must be prohibited, prevented and eliminated. Those in the most marginalised situations who face the biggest barriers to realising their rights must be prioritised. E mpowerment Individuals and communities should know their rights and be fully supported to participate in the development of policy and practises that affect their lives and to claim rights where necessary. L egality Rights must be recognised as legally enforceable and linked to national and international human rights law.
