Our manifesto is a demand for change.

Video description: A presentation slide with text that says Call 1: Incorporation of the UNCRDP. Disability Wales has long called for the incorporation of the UNCRDP into Welsh law. Welsh Government promised incorporation but has failed to deliver. 1/3
Without incorporation, rights remain aspirational, not enforceable. We call for:
Incorporate the UNCRDP into Welsh Law through primary legislation. 2/3
Provide training and resources to embed UNCRDP principles across government and public services.
Introduce a dedicated Code of Practice under the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act to support delivery of the UNCRDP. A small video in the corner shows Natalie speaking through the points. 3/3
We’ve called for incorporation of the UNCRDP into Welsh law for 15+ years, and we’re still waiting.
Without it, disabled people’s rights remain aspirational, not enforceable.
That’s why this is Call 1 in our manifesto.

We're deeply saddened to report the death of Graham Findlay.
A former colleague and a long-standing disabled people’s rights activist, Graham’s contribution, especially in the field of accessible housing, was immense. He will be greatly missed.
