Disability Council

The Municipal Disability Council is a forum for cooperation between disability associations, authorities and decision-makers. Its role is to influence municipal planning, decision-making and monitoring in all areas of government. The Disability Council can take initiatives and issue statements and opinions. The aim is to ensure that the rights of people with disabilities are realised.

People with disabilities, their relatives and organisations must have adequate representation on the Disability Council. The aim is to ensure that the disability perspective is taken into account when decisions are prepared and taken.

The Disability Council is involved in planning and decision-making in all areas of government. Good cooperation between the municipality and the Disability Council is mutually beneficial. It is important that representatives of the different administrative sectors are represented or, if necessary, invited to participate in the Disability Council. In this way, the Disability Council’s expertise can be channelled to support all decision-making in the municipality concerning people with disabilities.

In good cooperation, information flows seamlessly in both directions: the Disability Council itself actively brings to light any shortcomings it has identified. Municipal institutions, on the other hand, can make use of the Council’s expertise.
