As a Party, we are committed to fostering equity, diversity and inclusion at all levels. Our Preamble to the Constitution sets out our clear commitment to a society where everyone can achieve their full potential and should not be held back by race, ethnicity, caste, heritage, class, religion or belief, age, disability, sex, gender identity or sexual orientation.
We want our councillors to be truly representative of the communities they are elected to serve, and that means we want councillors who are diverse in every way, including disability to be supported to stand.
ALDC have produced a toolkit to help local parties and candidates/councillors with disabilities to smooth the path to being great councillors for their communities.
