Welcome to the Assist UK Homepage
Assist UK leads a UK wide network of locally-situated Disabled Living Centres. Each centre includes a permanent exhibition of products and equipment that provide people with opportunities to see and try products and equipment and get information and advice from professional staff about what might suit them best.
There are over 325 advisors throughout the network who respond to an average ¼ million enquiries made each year.
Disabled Living Centres also provide a valuable source of information relating to access, design and equipment for daily living. This can be especially useful to carers, older people and healthcare workers, students and manufacturers.
The Trusted Assessor Project
>> Visit The Trusted Assessor Project website
The Trusted Assessor Project aimed to find out what skills support workers should have so that they help disabled people and their carers to get the right equipment. Once they have got these skills they can call themselves certified 'Trusted Assessors', because they can be trusted to provide equipment that suits people best.
