Over the past six months Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisations (DDPOs) have been researching and collating evidence concerning the experiences of Deaf and Disabled people across the UK since 2017. This was the last time that the UK was examined by the UN Disability Committee under the Convention on the Rights of Disabled People UN CRDP.
At this joint meeting of the APPGs on Disability and the UN, DDPOs from each of the four nations will share their findings and their key asks for Parliamentarians.
