Background Information:

The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth are developing a new National Disability Strategy. They have asked The National Disability Authority to conduct some elements of the consultation on their behalf.

The overall focus of the consultation is to inform a set of strategic actions that will address common barriers to inclusion and participation for people with disabilities across key areas of society.

These thematic focus groups are part of a wider consultation process and there will be more information here in the coming weeks.
