Disabilities

At the core of Liberal Democrats philosophy is a belief in equality of opportunity. Fighting discrimination in all its forms underpins our policies. For people with disabilities, the disadvantages that many face can be traced directly to the way our society operates, particularly our public services and benefits system.

Helping people to help themselves is what the Liberal Democrat approach is all about.

This means promoting independent living wherever possible – more flexible access to the job market, improved mobility and access in the community, and giving people greater control over their own healthcare.
