Re: Disabled policies, Wales 1. Has your authority adopted the social model of disability in its practices? The Local Authority has not adopted the ‘social model of disability’ specifically. However, in our training we discuss the removal of barriers people face when accessing our services, and making our services more inclusive. Our Strategic Equality Plan includes an objective about making our services more accessible. And in our practices, consideration of using different formats, creating an inclusive environment within the workplace, using accessibility toolbars and checkers to ensure information is accessible to residents and that everyone can participate, raising awareness of how to support our workforce etc. 2.
