If you are a disabled person or have a long-term health condition, we would like your views.
Choices and Rights started as a campaigning group to ensure that disabled people’s views were heard, rather than other people or charities speaking on our behalf. As well as providing key services around independent living, we are also involved in Policy Influencing.
We aim for the DPP to meet 4 times a year and you will also be able to join online. If you want to attend, but can’t afford it, we will see if we can pay transport costs.
Policy influencing is what we do to influence positive change with local, regional, and national government. We want to be a voice for our members and service users and use your views and experiences to influence change
We do this by writing to local and national government decision makers, elected members and ministers, and meeting with them, as well as writing reports and sharing evidence and ideas. We also respond to local council consultations on issues that matter to disabled people, such as changes to policies, budgets, and plans for the local area
We do not have a set list of topics that have to be discussed, so this gives you the opportunity to have your voice heard.
Want to be involved?
We always want to her your views and experiences to help us share the evidence to influence change, so please contact us to sign up for the Disabled Peoples Panel.
