People with a disability

Disability is something that can affect anyone at anytime. It is likely that at some time in life, everyone not born with disability will acquire disability - permanent, temporary or acquired through old age.

We ensure that people with disabilities can take part in activities and community life the same as anyone else.

Our Disability Plan 2017-2021 outlines how we work in partnership to support people with disabilities.
