As a party, we are determined to be led by disabled people, the experts by experience.

As Shadow Minister for Disabled People, I am eager to speak to as many disabled people, charities, disabled people organisations, unions and other civil society organisations as possible.

In the short term, these roadshows will help develop a comprehensive response to the national strategy and a disability benefits green paper. Longer-term, the virtual roadshows kickstarts a four-year engagement programme, ensuring disabled people are at the heart of the Labour Party’s policy development.

Below are the dates for the regional and nations roadshows, please register in advance by filling in your regions/nations form.

In order to ensure we have maximum participation, I ask you only attend the roadshow for your region/nation. Rest assured, this is the start of a programme of engagement, you will have plenty of opportunities to participate.

We will share the notes from the roadshows here.

Please note, registration for each roadshow closes a week before they are due to take place.
