Abstract

This report from the Disability Workstream of Glasgow City Council’s Social Recovery Task Force, supported by a researcher from University of Glasgow’s Centre for Disability Research, makes recommendations to remove barriers to disabled peoples’ participation in key areas of life in Glasgow. The Disability Workstream held an online co-design event on 22 April 2021 involving disabled people, public service and third sector workers, and disabled peoples’ organisations (DPOs). Participants gave real-world examples of barriers and enablers to participation in public services. They also highlighted participation in Glasgow’s wider public realm, discussed digital and real-world participation, and considered the diversity of disabled people. Alongside other evidence, these themes inform the report recommendations.
