WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY DEPUTY M. TADIER OF ST. BRELADE
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 28th APRIL 2015
Question
Are there any plans to introduce a disability strategy for Jersey? If not, why not, and if so, what would this entail, and what would the expected timescale be for its introduction?
Answer
Yes. Work has started on the development of a disability strategy for Jersey.
A postal survey measuring the prevalence of disabilities and impairments is currently being prepared in consultation with key stakeholders. It will be distributed in late Spring to approximately 1 in 4 randomly selected addresses in Jersey. Focus groups will then be undertaken.
The information gathered will be used to support the development of a disability strategy. It is anticipated that a first draft will be issued for consultation in early 2016.
