Have your say on Council's Disability Action Plan

The plan is designed to ensure that Council fulfils its statutory obligations in compliance with section 49A of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA 1995) (as amended by Article 5 of the Disability Discrimination (Northern Ireland) Order 2006). The Disability Discrimination Act places duties on public authorities, when carrying out their functions, to have due regard to the need to promote positive attitudes towards disabled people and encourage participation by disabled people in public life. The Council is also required to submit to the Equality Commission a Disability Action Plan which outlines how Council will fulfil its duties in relations to its functions.

This plan when complete will outline the actions and processes our Council will undertake to ensure issues facing people with disabilities and their carers are effectively mainstreamed within Council decisions and service delivery.
