Hi,
The UN Convention of Human Rights for Disabled Persons is calling for evidence on disbility rights - see below - and Disability Rights UK is conducting a survey so that it can submit evidence by 2017.
www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/2016/aug...pd-engagement-events "...how well the UK government, including the devolved jurisdictions in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, is doing at promoting, protecting and ensuring disabled people’s human rights.
This includes in areas such as promoting accessibility of buildings and transport, ensuring protection from discrimination, improving public attitudes, increasing participation and achievement in education and employment, ensuring people can enjoy independent living and are supported to make their own decisions, tackling disability hate crime, making sure that people can vote in elections and take part in politics and enjoy leisure and sport.
The Committee is interested in the laws and polices that the government has in place to address these issues, the steps it is taking to ensure that they are implemented and the situation faced by disabled people in their everyday lives."
