Fulfilling Potential: improving the lives of disabled people
These documents set out the government’s view of a society where disabled people can realise their aspirations and fulfil their potential.
The government wants to put disabled people and their organisations at the heart of developing and implementing change.
‘Fulfilling Potential: making it happen’ is the government’s disability strategy. We published updates to it in September 2014.

The strategy and updates include action plans and indicators that help measure progress and show where work needs to be done.
Progress indicators
The indicators cover:
- education
- employment
- income
- health and wellbeing
- choice and control
- inclusive communities
These indicators replace the archived disability equality indicators.
