• Create a space where disabled people and those with lived experience can discuss issues and concerns related to the areas we are responsible for.
• Let us learn from the knowledge and lived experience of disabled people, and improve how we communicate with individuals and organisations that represent them.

This will involve:

• Attending the meetings of the Disability Lived Experience Group.
• Contributing to the work of the group, including providing input to consultation responses and other papers.
• Attending public meetings and events relevant to the group
