About Disability Charities Consortium

The Disability Charities Consortium (DCC) brings together CEOs and policy leads from nine of the UK’s leading not-for-profit disability organisations. We make sure disabled people’s experiences are reflected in UK policy making, by working collaboratively to influence Government.

The DCC members are: Business Disability Forum (BDF), Leonard Cheshire, National Autistic Society, Mencap, Mind, Royal National Society for Deaf people (RNID), Royal National Society of Blind people (RNIB), Scope, and Sense.

• The DCC feeds insights and topical concerns into the Disability Unit to help inform disability related policy development.
• DCC member CEOs regularly meet with senior officials in the Disability Unit, the Minister for Disabled People (MfDP) and other key ministers.
• DCC member policy leads regularly engage with the Unit’s stakeholder engagement team.

Together, the DCC has produced two documents which can be downloaded below.
