I am disabled

We know that having an impairment can be restricting. Getting a job; access to shops and businesses; using the internet; education and learning; in fact doing the things that most people take for granted; can be difficult. We try very hard to remove the barriers that prevent disabled persons from having full access to our services.

This section will help you to gain quick access to information, services, grants and support for your particular needs. We have also listed other organisations that specialise in supporting general and specific disabilities.

We respect your views and want you to help us to do a better job. If you have any comments about this page, suggestions for links, or advice that would help other disabled people, click on contact us and email us your ideas.
