Why is there a Disability Consortium?

An independent gathering of kindred groups met and identified a need for increased communication amongst disability-related organisations and individuals.

Increased Communication—What for?

• To collect and share information.
• To provide a forum for discussion of key issues.
• To co-ordinate opinions to influence joint planning by identifying gaps and unmet need and promoting active consultation.
• To establish, maintain and promote good practice.
• Developing opportunities to raise awareness and increase understanding of the needs of people with a disability.
