Disability Wales is an organisation that protects the rights of disabled people in Wales.

We have been talking to disabled people about things they fnd difcult living in Wales.

Now we will be talking to all the Political Parties in Wales about how they can make things better.

A Political Party is a group who agree how to make life better for people. They come together and have a candidate for an election. In Wales political parties include:

• Plaid Cymru

• UK Independence Party (UKIP)

• Welsh Conservatives

• Welsh Labour

• Welsh Liberal Democrats

A manifesto Briefng is a short document that tells about things that an organisation wants to work on.

This manifesto briefng helps us to understand what we need to work on to support disabled people in Wales.

Page 3 What are the things we need to work on

There are 6 things we need to work on to support Disabled People’s rights.

They are:

1. To follow the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Disabled People (UNCRDP).

United Nations Convention on the Rights of Disabled People is a document that tells us about the rights of disabled people.

It gives a framework for making sure people’s rights are supported.

Framework is a plan for when and how to do things.

2. Support other people to understand the difculties disabled people have.

Page 4 3. Support more disabled people to live the way they want to.

4. Get more support from health and social services for disabled people.

5. Make it easier for more disabled people to get a job. And support them better at work.

6. Make sure disabled people have a place to live that meets their needs.

We think these 6 things will help to make Wales a place where disabled people have the same chances as others.
