Local authorities

The public sector

The Office for Disability Issues (ODI) works with and consults local authorities and public sector workers to ensure disabled people's needs are considered on a range of issues and policy developments.

If you work for a local authority or in the public sector, you can get involved in disability-related projects and consultations. This site includes guidance and resources to help you get started.

Projects and consultations

• Improving Information for Disabled People
  Supporting public services to produce better information for disabled people
• Disability Equality Duty Guidance
  Guidance for local authorities and the public sector to help ensure public bodies continue to promote equality
• Individual Budgets
  Thirteen English local authorities piloted individual budgets between April 2006 and December 2007

If you are applying best practices in relation to disability then please let us know: Office for Disability Issues.
