The Government has launched a consultation on their Disability Action Plan, which brings together ideas and action across Government to make Disabled people’s lives easier.

The Disability Action Plan includes:

  • raising awareness of life-changing tech for Disabled people
  • mandatory disability awareness training for taxi drivers
  • autism-friendly programmes for cultural and heritage sites

Immediate and practical measures proposed in the fully accessible consultation include ensuring businesses are aware of Disabled people’s needs – including guide dog access needs – to allow all Disabled people to live, work and shop freely and support for local authorities to ensure the playgrounds they build or refurbish are accessible for disabled children.

The consultation is due to close on Friday 6 October.

You can give feedback on either the entire Disability Action Plan, or specific actions within it.
