Join SDEF Click here for a membership application form The Scottish Disability Equality Forum is a membership
organisation open to all disability organisations, or any individual with any
type of impairment. Every person,
organisation and network has an important role to play in ensuring the voices of
disabled people are heard in the new Scotland.
The Forum seeks to enable this.
The Forum seeks, through its membership, to highlight
the importance of active and empowered participation by disabled people in the
organisations which seek to represent them.
It actively encourages each member organisation to ensure that disabled
people form a majority within its management structure and that no barriers
exist towards full participation by disabled people in the management of the
organisation.
