Disability Reference Group
The Disability Reference Group (DRG) is a group to monitor and review the Councils progress on their Disability Equality Scheme (DES) and Action Plan. It is made up of 12 local disabled people - 2 from each of the 6 main impairment groups - and will run initially for the 3 years of the DES. It is now in its third year.
The DRG meets every 3 months to look at reports from the Council that say what they have doing to improve disability equality. The group also receive reports from DAII which tell them about the experiences of other disabled people in the Borough.
The DRG passes on their comments, queries and recommendations on the reports they receive directly to the LBI Disability Equality Performance Group, which is the committee that scrutinises the Councils progress on disability equality.
