Achieving Disability Equality in the Bromsgrove District

In August 2007, Bromsgrove District Council produced its first Easy Read Version of the Disability Equality Scheme (2007-2009). You can download a copy here. A report of achievements against the Scheme were published in December 2009 which you can access by clicking on this link here:

Community Consultation.

In 2007 we published the results of our Disability Equality research project in the report Achieving Disability Equality in the Bromsgrove District .

This report is also available in Large Print which you can download here Achieving Disability Equality in the Bromsgrove District Large Print.

These two documents gave the Council the information and evidence on which will move us towards achieving equality for disabled people within the Bromsgrove District. This was a new initiative for Bromsgrove and we want to thank all the people who participated in the research without whom this comprehensive report would not have been produced.

The report was compiled from written submissions and interviews with the disabled community and their support networks in the Bromsgrove District over the summer and autumn of 2007.

We are constantly listening to feedback from disabled people and established a Disabled Users Group in 2007 to monitor the work of Bromsgrove District Council in their efforts to improve disability equality. The minutes of the Disabled Users Group can be viewed below. At their meeting on Friday 1st April 2011, the group agreed to disband in favour of a more formal relationship between the Council and the Bromsgrove Disabled Access Group. Further information about how we propose to work with disabled people in Bromsgrove and with the Access Group will appear on this page in the near future.
