Disabled People's Cabinet Forum: report

8. Delegate Feedback and Reflections

Representative reflections:

“There was a genuine sense of connection, being listened to, and potential for change.” — Inclusion Scotland

“The event demonstrated ‘Nothing About Us Without Us’—disabled people were in the lead from planning to delivery.” — Glasgow Disability Alliance

“Our organisations are advocating for disabled people, and the Scottish Government is listening—now follow‑up needs to occur.” — Disability Equality Scotland

Delegates expressed a clear appetite for continued partnership, affirming the Forum as a recurring component of the Programme. Future Forums will be scheduled through programme governance, informed by evaluation, progress reviews, and engagement with DPOs to support deeper discussion, stronger outcome tracking, and sustained accountability. Participants reported constructive engagement, and suggested format improvements will be integrated into upcoming Forums.
