Keys to Citizenship

All citizens can act on and share the keys to everyday citizenship

Keys to Citizenship was the nationally acclaimed concept conceived by Dr Simon Duffy and published as a guide to getting good support for people with learning disabilities in 2003. The principles have been adopted by many different groups, self-advocates, families and professionals.

Since 2010 Simon Duffy and Wendy Perez, a self-advocate with learning difficulties have been working together to improve the Keys to Citizenship.

There are now 7 Keys:

  1. Meaning
  2. Freedom
  3. Money
  4. Help
  5. Home
  6. Community
  7. Love

Wendy Perez and Simon Duffy's new book Everyday Citizenship has been published by Red Press, read more here.
