A DPO is one whose constitution requires it to have a membership and board with a majority of disabled people Recent stories we’ve shared highlight the importance of Disabled Peoples Organisations (DPOs) across the UK. Ongoing emergency funding is needed to build on the achievements of this DPO COVID-19 NET Emergency Fund and the determination of DPOs to support disabled people locally.

A Disabled Peoples Organisation is one whose constitution requires it to have a membership and board with a majority of disabled people and whose objectives are the rights and equality of disabled people.

DPOs often play a key role in making local services more accessible and actively enable public bodies to meet their Equality Act duties. Nothing About Us Without Us
