Disability equality plan
The Disability Equality Plan has been developed in co-production with three core funded Disabled People's Organisations. The plan reflects a government wide commitment to ensure that the voices and experiences of disabled people meaningfully considered from the outset of policy making.
7. Conclusion
Implementing this plan with rigour and concerted joint working will see a new landscape for disabled people in Scotland come into being. It will also help to set in motion the changes needed to bring about the structural reforms required for disabled people to have equal access to their human rights.
In 2026, a new and ambitious Disability Equality Plan will be developed to deliver the Scottish Government’s aspiration for a Scotland in which disabled people are confident that they are valued by policy makers and leaders. They will know this not by our words, but by the positive changes they see to so many of the services which impact their lives.
Disabled people and DPOs will be able to hold the Scottish Government to account through the opportunities in this plan, and it is this accountability that is key to our ambition becoming reality. We look forward to delivering on this, in meaningful partnership.
