Policy and research

Our policy and research community brings government, businesses, and disabled people together to think, debate and challenge new approaches to advancing disability inclusion.

Welcome to our policy and research community

Our policy and research work produces new knowledge and brings bold and fresh approaches to policy problems, so that disabled people have better experiences of social and economic inclusion.

We share experience, ask new questions to generate new evidence, and facilitate forward- thinking ideas from our different perspectives as employers, service providers, disabled people, researchers, academics and policy makers.

If your organisation is a Business Disability Forum Member or Partner, join our policy and research community to identify where change is needed by getting involved in our forums and working groups and research projects to inform policy change.
