There are 10.6 million disabled people in the UK - about 15% of the population; in some areas this figure is as high as 30%. Disabled people have over £80 billion spending power nationally. We want to keep disabled people living, working, learning, contributing and investing in our regions, organisations and communities. |
Since the Disability Discrimination Act (1995) came into Force, disabled people have the right to receive fair and equal access to services, information, facilities, employment and education as everyone else. We all have a legal duty to ensure that happens and this duty will be strengthened by the Single Equality Act which replaced the DDA in 2010. |
