On 5 February 2024 the Government released its long-awaited Disability Action Plan, which features a range of practical policies and changes that could make a real difference to the millions of disabled people across the UK.

Children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) who have a wide range of needs. Given that play is such an important aspect of any child’s life, we are pleased to see that the plan aims to make playgrounds not only accessible, but also more inclusive.


Yet at a wider level, the plan neglects many areas that have a big impact on disabled youth as they transition through to adulthood. In order to deliver an effective plan, the Government will need to actively listen to those who are most impacted by those areas. This is especially true as wider issues, such as cost of living, continue to further disadvantage the daily lives of disabled people.
