The Office for Disability Issues

The Office for Disability Issues is working towards equality for disabled people.

Our vision – By 2025, disabled people in Britain should have the same opportunities and choices as non-disabled people to improve their quality of life and be respected and included as equal members of society.

Our purpose – We are the guardians within government of the vision of equality for disabled people by 2025.
