Disabled People's Cabinet Forum: report - easy read
Easy Read version of the report from Scotland’s first Disabled People’s Cabinet Forum, highlighting barriers, lived experience and priorities for system change.
What we want to happen
We want to use what we learned in the forum to make better policies about:
- social care
- mental health
- transport
- jobs
- support with money
We also want:
- the government to understand people's disabilities better
- government services and organisations to work together
- it to be clearer who is responsible for making things better
The Forum should become a regular part of the Disability Equality Plan.
Future Forums should continue to:
- involve disabled people in deciding what needs to change
- involve disabled people in checking if the changes are happening
People also wanted:
- more time to talk and discuss things
- disabled people and the government to continue working together in the same way as the first Forum
