Equality Monitoring Questions

Equality monitoring questions

We want to make sure that we're hearing from a variety of people who are representative of our communities, and that we're taking account of different views and personal experiences.

Do you consider yourself to be a disabled person?

Yes

A disability is an impairment that has (or is likely to have) a substantial (more than minor), adverse, long-term (generally more than a year but can be less) effect on the ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. For some conditions, it can be less than a year. For cancer, HIV and MS, you are considered disabled from diagnosis. It is always important to check.
