We have a human rights-based approach to disability inclusion, underpinned by the United Nations Convention on  the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

We take inspiration from Social Model of Disability and Disability Justice Principles.

We are committed to our outcomes:

  • Rights
  • Voice
  • Choice
  • Visibility

Why our work matters

Black Caribbean boys with SEN and eligible for free school meals face exclusion 168 times more compared to White British girls*

Continuation of cuts to crucial support for Disabled people (such as £4.5 billion planned in cuts for disability benefits by 2029/2030)**

190,000 excess deaths linked to austerity policies between 2010 - 2019, disproportionately affecting Black and Global Majority Disabled people***
