Details

This report explains what has been achieved in the UK since it ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in July 2009. The government wants disabled people to fulfil their potential and play a full role in society.

In the UK, we usually refer to convention as the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabled People.
