Inclusion Scotland

Inclusion Scotland, the national disabled people's organisation, now has a Highland presence. John Beaton is based in Dingwall and is the Policy and Engagement Officer for the Scotland wide organisation which is run by disabled people for disabled people.

One of the organisation's main aims is to identify and remove the barriers to taking part in local decision making for disabled people. Participation by disabled people in new developments and in local decision-making is vital to creating inclusive communities.

Inclusion Scotland Highland want to promote a culture where disabled people are involved at all levels from consultation to leadership. To find out more phone John on: 07442 278287 or email: highland@inclusionscotland.org

Sign up to become a member and demonstrate your support for the organisation and you will receive the regular email bulletin. The bulletin contains the latest news relating to disability and human rights, notification of events which may be of interest, and opportunities for jobs and internships.
