Disabled Campaign Group Makes It Easier To Meet MPs

A SCHEME to encourage more people with disabilities to meet their elected MPs has been launched in the UK.

So far more than 50 MPs have signed up to the ‘MP Dialogue’ scheme, organised by disability campaign group Radar.

The group advises people about how to prepare for meetings with MPs, tells them exactly what it is their elected representative does and, likewise, helps Parliamentarians better understand the needs of their disabled constituents.

Around 70 individuals and groups have requested Radar’s help so far this year and the range of topics discussed with MPs have included welfare reforms, bus route closures and being verbally abused in the street.
