We want services to follow the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD).
|
|
The UN CRPD says that disabled people have the same rights as everyone else.
It says what governments should do to make this happen.
|
 |
We think this will help services be better for disabled people.
|
 |
One of our main aims is to make sure policy in Europe helps services become better.
|
 |
A policy is a set of rules about how we do things.
|
 |
We keep up-to-date with new policies.
|
 |
We have a say about policies based on what our members tell us.
|
 |
Our members are organisations who provide services to disabled people in Europe.
|
 |
We make suggestions to improve policies.
|
