About Us
We are a diverse and united collective of:
-
Deaf and Disabled people
-
Deaf and Disabled people's organisations (DDPOs) and
-
Deaf and Disabled people-led groups across the UK.
We aim to raise our voices and share our priorities for a more inclusive and accessible society.
What is a DDPO?
Deaf and Disabled People's Organisations (DDPO) are run by and for Deaf and Disabled People.
Deaf and Disabled people might make up:
-
75% or more of the organisation's board members, or
-
50% of an organisation's staff
-
(Or both!)
DDPOs in the UK can sign up to our manifesto on our Take Action page. We'll ask you for a few details and put you in the list of supporters.
If your organisation is a DDPO in England, you can also get involved with DPO Forum England. Contact us for more information.
