Are you a disabled person and interested in political participation?
Inclusion Scotland is teaming up with Disability History Scotland to run a joint event on the theme of Access to Politics for disabled people. Find out about the new Democratic Participation Fund which will soon be offering financial assistance to disabled candidates wishing to be elected as Local Authority councillors in 2017.
There will also be an election hustings, featuring candidates from the five parties who were represented in the Scottish Parliament in the previous session. Candidates will be asked questions generated and agreed by the participants during the event, then parties will have the opportunity to turn the tables and ask disabled people a question of their own.
The event is free to attend, travel expenses are available for participants, and Inclusion Scotland have put in a request for BSL interpreters and electronic note-takers. To discuss other access needs, please contact Inclusion Scotland at 0141-559-5025.
