Disablism audits

Scope’s Disablism Audits are two reports that provide a more robust understanding of disablism in Britain today.

In 2008 and 2009 we asked disabled people about their lives and then reflected on their experiences. From this we hoped to construct a picture of disablism in British society and understand how this affects disabled people’s day-to-day reality. This has been used to influence the way in which Government creates policy and legislation in regards to them. The Disablism Audits examine how much progress we are making towards eliminating the disadvantage experienced by disabled people, both in terms of improvements over time, and relative to non-disabled citizens.

The Disablism Audit 2009

Disabled Families in Flux: Removing Barriers to Family Life, the 2009 Disablism Audit, focused on the experiences of families with disabled children.

The Disablism Audit 2008

Unequal Citizenship: The personal is political! was the first in our annual series of Disablism Audits.
