Disability Advisory Group work

The group works in three main ways:

Meeting - The whole group meets three or four times a year to make sure everyone is up to date on what is happening around disability issues and to provide information on future activities. For details of the next meeting contact Barbara Campbell at using the diversity contact details.

Newsletter - We produce a newsletter three times a year including the dates of forthcoming meetings of the group and events of interest.

Working with Officers - Members of the group work closely with officers to advise them about the difficulties they have and how we can improve access to services. This can involve members meeting with the officers or visiting sites or buildings with them to help us build in the needs of disabled people.

The group are also involved in monitoring the progress of the Disability Equality Action Plan.

What's In It For Group Members? We hope members of the group will be keen to take up the chance to shape how Council services are delivered and improve access, not just for themselves, but for others across the Borough. Why not come along to one of our meetings to find out more.
