The UN International Day of Disabled People is a United Nations (UN) day that is celebrated every year on 3 December.
The day is about promoting the rights and well-being of disabled people at every level of society and development, and to raise awareness of the situation of disabled people in all aspects of political, social, economic, and cultural life. The World Health Organisation (WHO) joins the UN in observing this day each year, reinforcing the importance of securing the rights of disabled people, so they can participate fully, equally and effectively in society with others, and face no barriers in all aspects of their lives.
The Good Practice Guide – Supporting Disabled Entrepreneurs in Wales, developed by Disability Wales on behalf of the Welsh Government, provides practical advice for business support organisations and advisors on how best to engage with and support disabled people who are starting, sustaining or growing their business in Wales.
