Congratulations to new GDA Board Members: David Hanlan & Debbie Vithiyanandan! All the Board & staff look forward to working with you. GDA is proud to be a #DPO - an organisation led & controlled by disabled people. #Participation #Control #Representation #GDACommunity
Members shared their lived reality, the support they get from GDA & why it's so crucial to be part of the #DPOMovement. Vital evidence we can take to decisionmakers & funders to make the strongest case to demand the changes needed to improve disabled people's lives #GDACommunity

GDA hybrid once more enables highest level of #Participation for disabled people - otherwise 40+ voices would be missing, creating democratic deficit and missing opportunities for solutions to emerge.

Disabled ppl disproportionately high users of health & social care, social security, transport, housing: all controlled regionally or nationally. Over-reliance on #PlaceBasedApproaches widens inequality. Parallel equalities approaches needed #CommunityOfIdentity #GDACommunity 3/
Barriers include poverty, work, learning, social care, access to services and supports, inaccessible buildings, streets, transport, lack of housing, inaccessible information and comms, social isolation, stigma and need for peer support to enable participation. #GDACommunity
GDA Policy and Participation Manager @KarenW_GDA explains why #DemocracyMatters and gives some background on the situation in Scotland. She shares GDA's findings about barriers to disabled people's participation and democracy.

.@ThomasCArthur responds to the GDA member online. He says democracy is not just about turning up to vote every few years, but active conversations going on all the time.
#DemocracyMatters #GDACommunity
A GDA member speaks about GDA being a community; another describes being considered 'too disabled' to volunteer. @ThomasCArthur says:
'Equalities must run through every conversation. Why is inclusion vital? Because it is morally right.'
