About Disability Equality Scotland

We are Disability Equality Scotland.  We are a membership organisation for disabled people and disability groups/organisations.

If you are a disabled person, we want to hear from you.  We want to hear about your experiences of accessibility, inclusion and equality, good or bad!  This information helps us when we meet with key decision makers who are responsible for ensuring equality and human rights are in place with policies and the law.

Become a member with us and join over 1,000 disabled people, sharing their views on access and inclusion. Together we can make Scotland accessible and inclusive for all!

Hate Crime Charter

Disability Equality Scotland is working with transport providers and partners to launch a national Hate Crime Charter, which aims to encourage transport providers, members of the public and other services to support a zero-tolerance approach to hate crime.

Everyone has the right to travel safely. Targeting someone because of who they are is wrong and could be a criminal offence. Don't Ignore It. Report it. Features logos for Disability Equality Scotland, Transport Scotland, the South-East Scotland Transport Partnership (SESTran), People First (Scotland), Police Scotland and British Transport Police.
