Are you interested in finding out more about the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities and how it will help people with disabilities living in Northern Ireland?
The UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities is a new international agreement, which was ratified by the UK in 2009. It is the first human rights agreement for people with disabilities, protecting their rights in all areas of life including education, employment, health, personal mobility and independent living.
