At Thurrock Independence Resource Centre (TIRC) we offer support and advice on a variety of issues which affect disabled people.
Who can TIRC Help
The TIRC team can assist people with the majority of disability related issues – from advising about a situation that simply requires completing an application form to a more complex situation that needs a formal complaint to be made, and many matters in between of concern to disabled individuals and their carers. If members of the TIRC team are not the most appropriate people to help, they will always try to suggest other options.
TIRC promotes the Social Model of Disability
The TIRC team will try to remove or reduce the barriers that prevent disabled people accessing the services they need to give them choice and control over their own situations and so maintain their independence.
