💡Did you know? We published a definition of disability on our website. This definition, designed by our Disability & Accessibility Working Group, aims for consistency, clarity and inclusivity, and is underpinned by the 'social model' approach, which focuses on how people can be 'dis-abled' by barriers in their environment.
