Have your say on the National Strategy for Disabled People

The Disability Unit from the Cabinet Office are looking for your help to complete a survey about the barriers that disabled people face.

Over 10,000 people have already responded to the online survey requesting views on the National Strategy for Disabled People.

The new deadline is 28 February 2021

You can also contribute views by sending written responses to: DUCitizenspace@cabinetoffice.gov.uk.

The survey will help the government also understand what they may need to focus upon to improve the lives of disabled people. They need to hear about your views and know more about your experiences, that will contribute to their National Strategy for Disabled People.

In the survey you will be asked about your life experiences either as a disabled person, a carer, parent or as someone who has an interest in disability issues.

If you miss the deadline then do not fear, you can still contribute in some way. The survey will remain open until the 23rd April, for your input into the delivery and roll out of the National Strategy for Disabled People.

Take the survey and contribute to the National Strategy for Disabled People.
