Progress Report on the Implementation of the UNCRPD in NI

Posted 09.03.2022

On Friday 25 February 2022 Disability Action and the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland launched the Progress Report on the Implementation of United Nations Convention on the Rights of d/Deaf and Disabled People (UNCRPD) in N.Ireland. 

This progress report presents the findings from research undertaken by Disability Action, on behalf of the Equality Commission, with:

• d/Deaf and or disabled people, carers or supporters
• Organisations including Government Departments throughout N.Ireland, and
• Political parties and political representatives within the NI Executive and Assembly.

This engagement helped us to gather evidence regarding disabled people’s views and experiences which will be shared with the United Nations.
