The Welsh Government has published its Disabled People's Rights Plan, a 10-year commitment to making sure disabled people can participate fully and equally in every part of life in Wales.
The plan sets out practical actions and long-term goals to tackle barriers across employment, transport, education, healthcare, housing, independent living, digital access, and public services.
Shaped from the outset by people with lived experience and expertise through the work of the Disability Rights Taskforce, the plan responds to real challenges faced by disabled people in daily life. Following a public consultation, it has been strengthened with new areas, including Parents and Unpaid Carers, Digital Inclusion, and Climate Change, and includes a clear framework to track progress and measure impact.
The Welsh Government’s Disability Disparity Evidence Unit will monitor progress, while a new External Advisory Board, led by disabled people, will provide independent advice and guidance on the implementation of the Plan.
The plan includes actions to improve employment opportunities for disabled people.
