On Thursday 24 November, Marsha De Cordova MP is leading a debate on the UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

To inform her debate, she is hoping to hear about your experiences.

Please scroll down for a link to the survey. The deadline for submissions is midday on Wednesday 23 November.

Introducing the debate, she gave the following statement:

“The UN International Day for Disabled People will take place on 3 December, and this year’s theme is about looking at transformative solutions and innovative ideas to continue to create a more inclusive, accessible and an equitable society for disabled people.

“There are approximately 14 million disabled people in the UK, and if you add carers to that, the number rises to 20 million. We already know that the impact of the pandemic and other challenges such as the cost of living has fallen heavily on disabled people.

“I strongly believe that we all need the opportunity not only to celebrate the many achievements of disabled people, but also to discuss and debate some of those creative and innovative solutions to actually improving their lives.”
