    Call for Case Studies: United Nations Disabled People’s Convention

    By admin | News, Policy and Parliament, Rights and Legal Issues | Comments are Closed | 6 February, 2017 | 0

    Inclusion Scotland and nine partners have sent a report to a United Nations committee which is responsible for the Disabled People’s Convention (UNCRPD). The report explains whether disabled people in Scotland are getting all of their rights in the Convention.

    You can read the report, including in Easy Read and BSL here.

    If you have experienced any of the issues mentioned in the report, we would like to hear from you. Please tell us your story and which Article in the Convention you think it relates to.

    Please get in touch with Rosalind before Monday 20th February.
