The Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Scotland
To mark the United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities, SCLD held a virtual roundtable, on incorporation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) into Scottish law.
We have also issued a Position Statement on the incorporation of the UNCRPD in Scotland. We are asking stakeholder organisations across the learning disability sector to sign up to this statement.
