According to the World Health Organisation, around 15% of the world’s population are considered to have some form of disability. But all too often, the needs of people with disabilities are not catered for by the society they live in. International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPWD) is a day which promotes equality for people with disabilities in all areas of society. This day was first announced by the UN in 1992 with the aim of advancing disability rights and protecting the wellbeing of people with disabilities.
Bought to you by the Co-operative Party’s (dis)Ability Network Steering Committee, members are invited to join this online event to mark IDPWD and will focus on co-operative solutions to the crisis in Social Care. It will also report on the role of the Network over the last year and its ambitions for the future.
Following the discussion, there will be the opportunity to ask questions, interact with speakers as well as other (dis)Ability Network members.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Please note, this event is open to all members and will be live captioned for greater accessibility. It replaces the event postponed from 15 October.
