Disability Debate
The Disability Rights Commission has launched a major initiative - The Disability Debate. The Debate is an opportunity for you to play an active role in shaping a new agenda for action to bring about a society in which disabled people can participate and contribute as equal citizens.
Over the summer the DRC will run a series of 'debating points' covering issues such as risk, welfare and work, the role of professionals in disabled people's lives, and whether it is right that some disabled people live, learn and work in places which separate them from the wider community. There will be opportunities for you to discuss the issues directly with people in positions to bring about change.
The DRC has published a discussion paper, 'Shaping the future of equality', which sets out the major issues facing disabled people in 2005 and some future challenges. To read the paper, register to receive regular updates and take part in our discussion forum, please visit www.disabilitydebate.org
