caption_attribution_description: English: Gibraltar Local Disability Movement
context_page_description: The Gibraltar Local Disability Movement is a pressure group operating in Gibraltar that seeks to improve the lives of disabled people, promote equal opportunities and tackle disablist discrimination in Gibraltar.
  It was first established in 1985 in response to Gibraltar's lack of infrastructure and facilities for disabled people. The Gibraltar Local Disability Movement ceased to be active for several years during the 1990s and early 2000s, but was reactivated in 2005 to address the situation for disabled people in Gibraltar, which did not see great improvement for several years.
  It had become apparent to many in the Gibraltarian community, that disabled and the families of disabled needed disability issues to be addressed, as many had found that groups, or society, and even Government of Gibraltar had become distant.
  At present there is no way for anyone to know what the disabled allowances are, but it is expected that this will be rectified soon, thanks to the GLDM's work in advising the Government of Gibraltar.
context_section_description: The Dr. Giraldi Home provides residential care for 14 adults with learning disabilities. This facility is unitised into four separate self-contained apartments, one of which is used to offer a respite and sitting service. In addition, two other adults are supported on a 24-hour basis in a flat in the community and one child is also supported on a 24-hour basis in a flat in the community. Each flat has a senior social care worker with supervisory responsibility for a team of social care workers. The Team Leader of the adult social work team has overall responsibility for this service but is not on location.  The Manager and the Deputy Manager are on location and responsible for the management of all the above.
