The All-India SRV Leadership Network

The All-India SRV Network Charter

Our purpose is to provide national leadership for the teaching, study and use of Social Role Valorization as a unifying idea set among stakeholders across India who are seeking a more just and unified society for all people, particularly people experiencing disability.

Our Membership

All of those people from India and neighboring south Asian countries who have completed advanced training courses in Social Role Valorization (of at least 28 hours duration) in India taught by a senior trainer are considered members of AISRV Network. Active members will have many ways to interact and participate with the Network. Others may simply keep informed of what is happening across India and contribute as they can. Many members have a particular interest in the well-being and uplifting of people with developmental and psycho-social disability, but we welcome SRV graduates who are focused on cross-disability issues and other marginalized peoples.

The Leadership of the AISRV Network and the Role of Keystone Institute India

Keystone Institute India serves as a resource to the group, providing the structure for leadership communication, and can offer assistance to related initiatives consistent with our mission. This means we can coordinate the national effort as well as strengthen regional Communities of Practice, and lend support to initiatives developed by group members where possible. KII will take a lead role in safeguarding the SRV material, but will not direct the AISRV Network.

The ISRVA will be coordinated and supported by a voluntary support team, which will by non-hierarchical and will work to be responsive to the needs and will of the group.
