What we are

The NCODP is a human-rights group controlled by disabled people and their organisations. We organise and take part in campaigns and run services that promote social equality and dignity for all disabled people.

What we believe

The NCODP regards having an impairment as a normal part of being human. Disability results from people with impairments being excluded by physical and social barriers and negative attitudes. Our main task is to challenge the many forms of discrimination created by these barriers and attitudes.

What we believe should be done

The NCODP believes that disabled people must take the leading role in decisions that affect their lives both locally and as part of the national and international disability movements in which the NCODP plays an active part. There must be “Nothing about us without us.”
