Disability is a societal issue and not solely an individual impairment. An inclusive and accessible society for all should be paramount. People Before Profit will:

• Reverse all cuts that people with disabilities have suffered under consecutive governments.

• Provide a universal health service free at the point of delivery, funded by progressive taxation and democratically planned by health workers and service users, which emphasises prevention and social support.

• Protect wages and conditions for social-care workers and full support for home carers, including proper provision for respite.

• Provide people with disabilities with the right to choose the services which best meet their needs. Ensure the right of people with disabilities to live as autonomous adults.

• Implement regulations that ensure all homes and public buildings are accessible and built in accordance with the needs of people throughout their lifespan.

• Ensure publicly-owned and funded disability services; oppose privatisation.

• Provide accessible education for all. Ensure all children can access education through mainstream channels by investing in staff and facilities to make schools and communities truly inclusive.

• Make public transport accessible for all. Equip all stations, stops and vehicles to be genuinely accessible. Train and employ staff to assist access.
