Recommendation 3
3
Paragraph: 19
Government's engagement with disabled people on National Disability Strategy proved insufficient and exclusive.
Conclusion
The Government claimed to have carried out “the biggest listening exercise with disabled people in recent history” to inform the National Disability Strategy. We disagree. Rather than being listened to, many disabled people and their representative organisations felt excluded from the engagement process. The Government then chose to ignore their concerns, even after the possibility of legal action became likely, further disempowering its primary stakeholder group.
