How you can get involved
The Strategy has a supporting document called The Engagement Plan. The plan supports how we implement the Strategy. It makes sure people with disability are heard and involved. It talks about how people with disability can:
- share their ideas
- help improve the Strategy.
You can get involved by:
- doing a survey
- joining a meeting or event
- giving feedback on reports or actions.
Your voice is important. The Strategy works best when people with disability help shape it.
There is a summary in Easy Read and community languages. This plan will be updated in 2025.
Find out more about engaging with people with disability.
Get involved in forums and consultations
Every year, there will be at least one public forum or consultation about the Strategy. This is part of the Engagement Plan.
