We are now in the third year of our strategy to create an equal future with disabled people. Every 3 years, we review our strategy. This helps us reflect on what we have learned. We use those insights to shape the next phase of our work.
While we do this, we will continue to tackle the extra cost of disability and close the disability employment gap. We also know that we must change attitudes across society to achieve progress in these areas. We will share further updates with you as our plans develop.
At Scope, we want to end disability inequality and support greater opportunities for disabled people.
There are 16 million disabled people in the UK. And we want our potential to be recognised.
We need a transformation in attitudes. We must address the extra costs we face. And we need to be recognised for the value we bring to the workplace.
Scope’s ambitious new strategy ‘An Equal Future’ sets out how we’ll transform society with disabled people at its heart, in the next decade.
Our 3 goals are based on things that disabled people tell us matters most to them:
We want to see disabled people and their families have an equal standard of living as non-disabled people.
We want all disabled people who want to work, to move into, stay in, and progress in work.
We want to see a more inclusive society where attitudes towards disability, and disabled people, and disabled families are improved.
We know we can’t achieve societal change alone. We are part of a diverse movement of disabled campaigners, allies and organisations demanding change. Creating an equal future requires all of us. Together we will be unstoppable.
An Equal Future is possible.
