Our purpose, mission and objectives

Our mission is that by 2025, disabled people should have the same opportunities and choices as non-disabled people and be respected and included as equal members of society.

We work across government to deliver equality for disabled people by:

• promoting joined-up thinking to secure improvements in policy-making and service delivery which will benefit disabled people.
• involving disabled people and their expertise to shape what we do and encouraging others to do the same.
• being a source of evidence and expertise on disability within government.
• promoting human rights and ensuring effective disability equality legislation.
• communicating the government's programme on disability.
