Welcome to Disability Rights Watch UK

Disability Rights Watch UK is a project of United Kingdom Disabled Peoples' Council (UKDPC), and is supported by the Disability LIB Alliance and Scope.

The project aims to ensure that disabled people, Disabled People's Organisations (DPOs) and our allies, are fully involved in monitoring the UK's performance in implementing the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

We will monitor the Convention by collecting evidence about the experiences of disabled people in the UK.

We need your story as part of the evidence

We will use this evidence to show the UK Government where they need to improve law, policies and practice to ensure disabled people can enjoy full human rights.

We will also use it to create a report to send to the UN Disability Monitoring Committee outlining where the UK is not meeting the standards required.

Through this we hope to give the UK Government and the UN the information they need to ensure that the UK complies with its obligations to respect and ensure human rights of disabled people.
