The Welsh Government has launched a consultation on its 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.
Based on the Social Model of Disability and guided by the principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabled People, the consultation outlines both immediate actions and long-term outcomes to create lasting change in how society addresses barriers to inclusion.
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, with thematic working groups focusing on specific areas.
Following the consultation, an External Advisory Board will provide ongoing expertise and oversight as the plan moves into implementation.
The 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.
