Launch of consultation on Draft Disabled People’s Rights plan

The Welsh Government has launched a consultation on its Draft Disabled People’s Rights plan, setting out a positive ambition for advancing the rights and opportunities of all disabled people across Wales over the next decade.

The plan is based on the work of the Disability Rights Taskforce, which brought together people with lived experience and expertise. It addresses real challenges faced by disabled people in their everyday lives and outlines both immediate actions and long-term outcomes to create lasting change in how society addresses barriers to inclusion.

The 12-week consultation welcomes input from individuals, community groups, businesses and organisations, with particular emphasis on hearing directly from disabled people about their priorities.

The consultation is open until 7 August 2025.

Please take some time to read the plan and share your thoughts.
