Are you interested in sharing your experience and suggesting what a National Disability Strategy could include to improve the lives of disabled people?

If so, we invite you to join our online thematic focus groups to discuss various issues related to disability.

The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY) are developing a new National Disability Strategy. They have asked the National Disability Authority (NDA) to conduct some elements of the consultation on their behalf.

The overall focus of the consultation is to inform a set of strategic actions that will address common barriers to inclusion and participation for people with disabilities across key areas of society.

The focus groups below are part of a wider consultation process and there will be more information on gov.ie/UNCRPD in the coming weeks. Please check gov.ie/UNCRPD to see how else you can have your say on this Strategy.
