Involving Disabled People

The Guild is committed to disability equality and works with disabled people across the city to become fully engaged in their communities, in the city and with service providers. It works in partnership with the DAN and other disability groups in the city.

The Disability Engagement Worker works with disabled people on a range of projects. The DEW supports disability groups, helps new ones develop and works with our partners to keep disability equality at the top of their agenda.

One example of successful disability engagement work is the establishment of the Plymouth Disabled Bus Users Group (DBUG) that meets with the city’s bus operators to help improve driver training and access to buses.

If you are an organisation that wants to consult with disabled people, contact the DEW for advice on how to do that effectively.

The DEW does not speak for disabled people nor represent their views but works WITH disabled people to get their voices heard.
