Provide training and resources to embed UNCRDP principles across government and public services. Introduce a dedicated Code of Practice under the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act to support delivery of the UNCRDP. A small video in the corner shows Natalie speaking through the points. 3/3

Without incorporation, rights remain aspirational, not enforceable. We call for: Incorporate the UNCRDP into Welsh Law through primary legislation. 2/3

👀Mae 1 o bob 5 o bobl yng Nghymru yn anabl. Ond rydym yn dal i fod heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol mewn gwleidyddiaeth a mannau gwneud penderfyniadau. Mae Siarter Mynediad at Wleidyddiaeth yn nodi sut y gall pleidiau gwleidyddol newid hynny, gan ddechrau nawr. www.disabilitywales.org/cyflwyno-sia...

👀1 in 5 people in Wales are disabled. But we're still underrepresented in politics and decision-making spaces. The Access to Politics Charter sets out how political parties can change that. Let’s aspire to achieve equity together. Read the Charter: www.disabilitywales.org/introducing-...
