Getting Our Voices Heard

The DRILL Programme has identified that some topics of importance to disabled people that impact on their ability to achieve independent living are not easy to progress at a National or UK level. We are interested in maximising the influence on policy and practice of disabled people and their organisations. The aim of the commission is to explore different approaches to exerting influence taken by disabled people and their organisations around a specific policy area, identify what works in different contexts and to make recommendations on approaches to take. Tenders looking closely at successful examples of where Disabled People's Organisations have influenced policy or practice will be welcomed. Please note, date for questions has been extended to the 9th October 2018 (12 noon).
