Scottish Disability Equality Forum along with thistle logo in purple and green

 

The Scottish Disability Equality Forum works for social inclusion in Scotland through the removal of barriers and the promotion of equal access for people affected by disability.

We are a membership organisation, representing individuals with any type of impairment, disability organisations and groups who share our values. We aim to ensure the voices of people affected by disability are heard and heeded.

SDEF promotes access in its widest sense: access to the built and natural environment and access to the same opportunities as are enjoyed by other people in our community.
