Disabled People's Cabinet Forum: report

10. Acknowledgements

The Scottish Government extends sincere thanks to the Disabled People’s Organisations who shaped and delivered the Cabinet Forum. In particular, we are grateful to Inclusion Scotland, Glasgow Disability Alliance, and Disability Equality Scotland for their leadership, expertise, and commitment to co‑production throughout planning and on the day. Their insight ensured the Forum was grounded in lived experience and reflected the priorities of disabled people across Scotland.

We also thank all participating DPOs and individuals who contributed their time, perspectives, and experiences. Their openness enabled rich, constructive discussion and provided a powerful evidence base to inform future policy development.

Finally, the DPOs want to express their appreciation for the engagement of the First Minister, Deputy First Minister, Cabinet Secretaries, and the Minister for Equalities. Their willingness to listen, respond, and work collaboratively demonstrated a strong commitment to the principles of the Disability Equality Plan and to building a fairer, more inclusive Scotland.
