The DRC Leadership Team

Creating a society where all disabled people can participate fully as equal citizens should not simply be an aspiration, but a right. To achieve this, it is critical that disabled people become leaders in all areas of public life.

The DRC Leadership Team is working to increase opportunities for disabled people to play a significant role in public, community and civil life. Through research, guidance and awareness-raising, DRC aims to influence the removal of barriers, whilst making an impact on skills development for disabled people.

Currently, the DRC is engaging with disabled people who want to explore their future as leaders. Leadership can cover a broad range of roles, for example, you might want to:

  • start a community group
  • participate in your local schools fundraising activities
  • lead a children's language club
  • campaign on a planning issue
  • promote safer streets and neighbourhood watch schemes
  • organise a cultural or heritage event
  • have your say about local health care services
  • chair your tenants association
  • become a magistrate or local councillor

Last year the Disability Rights Commission (DRC) ran Leadership Conferences in Scotland and England to encourage disabled people to get further involved in leading their communities.

This summer the DRC are running Leadership Forums, smaller events with the opportunity for you to receive individual advice and guidance as you 'Explore your future as a leader.'

Wherever your leadership ambition lies, the DRC Leadership Forum will give you an opportunity to meet with experts to realistically plan how to achieve your goals, helping you to give even more back to your community.

The Leadership Forums this year will be held in Londonon 7 June, Swanseaon 15 June, Glasgow on 26 June and Sheffieldon 12 July.

These are free events although there is a small cancellation charge should you be offered a place and change your mind just before the event.

Email: drcleaders@centrevents.co.uk or telephone 020 8922 1135 to request an application form and further information in your preferred format.

Applicants will be selected based on information provided.

Closing date for completed application forms is 10 April.

Further leadership information, including case studies of disabled leaders, is available on our website
