Members, Disability Rights UK AGM and Conference on Equal participation for all – together we can be stronger
This event will take place on November 7th in London
Come and debate how we can work together for equal participation:
bringing all our different experiences – of different impairments and health conditions, different regions, communities and more uniting to ensure our rights are sustained and advanced, in the context of Brexit learning from each other’s user-led initiatives in different areas
learning from other countries and sectors: for instance, in Australia disabled people campaigned with allies for significant investment in independent living – and won; and the LGBT communities have in 20 years achieved a sea change in attitudes and policy. You will also hear from speakers including new Ministers (invited) and disabled people sharing local and national experiences of influencing change.
In 2016 DR UK launched a new strategy, based on disabled people working together – locally and nationally, across our different experiences – to achieve Equal Participation for All. We have 3 priorities which will be touched on in the event:
Independent living: getting a life
Career opportunities: getting work, education and skills
Influencing public attitudes and behaviour
