The overall aim of this project is to identify and propose policies which will remove barriers and improve outcomes for disabled people. Disabled people are faring less well than non-disabled people across a range of indicators and opportunities. There are particular concerns about the support available to disabled people at key transition points in life - and about outcomes for specific groups of disabled people. Many services are in place, but these can be fragmented and their effectiveness may in some cases be low. In the light of this evidence, the aims of this project are: to assess the extent to which disabled people are experiencing adverse economic and social outcomes in the UK; to identify why this is happening, and what are its implications; and to assess what could be done to improve the situation.
