Disability
Equality Scheme 2006 - 2009
The
Disability Discrimination Act 1995 has been amended by the
Disability Discrimination Act 2005 to place a duty on all public
sector organisations to:
·
eliminate unlawful
discrimination
·
promote equal
opportunities
·
eliminate disability
harassment
·
promote positive
attitudes towards disabled people
·
encourage
participation by disabled people in public life
By
4th December 2006 the PCT will publish a Disability
Equality Scheme showing how it intends to fulfil its duties under
the Act.
Bassetlaw
PCT is currently developing its Disability Equality Scheme and
would like to actively involve a wide range of disabled people in
the planning stages.
We
hope to gather information by means of:
·
a questionnaire
seeking opinions on experiences and challenges facing disabled
people
·
a Focus Group for
local disabled people and their organisations to give their views
·
face to face
interviews with disabled people
If you have an interest in improving the
way health services work for disabled people we’d like to hear
from you. For more information on how you can become involved
