To develop this DIAP, we collaborated with arts and disability peak body Accessible Arts who have led and informed our work. Through this process, we have engaged with staff, volunteers and a range of different external stakeholders, including people with disability, to build an ambitious and achievable DIAP.
The consultation phase of this DIAP’s development took place throughout 2022 and included:
- presentations, workshops and interviews with staff from across the organisation, as well as an internal survey for staff, volunteers and the Board
- focus groups and a survey for our external stakeholders
- an accessible document review
- a ‘Walk and Talk’ tour with people with lived experience of disability
We believe in designing accessible programs and services with, by and for people with disability – to ensure relevance, currency and usability. We acknowledge the need for regular dialogue and consultation with people with disability from across our community, to ensure continuous improvements are made over the life of this DIAP, and look forward to engaging with more of our stakeholders over the next three years.
