Video transcript:

The Disabled People's Parliament is back for 2025. The Northern Ireland Assembly represents and makes laws for everyone who lives here. It is important that everyone has an opportunity to have their say on issues that matter to them.

One of the ways we do this is through the Outreach Parliaments, which provide a platform for relevant sectors to engage directly with decision makers and raise issues of concern. The next Disabled People's Parliament will take place on Friday 21 November 2025 in the Assembly Chamber in Parliament Buildings. It will be an opportunity for people with disabilities to have their say on issues and decisions that affect their lives.

A consultative panel made up of individuals, groups and organisations has been instrumental in helping to co-design the Parliament. To determine the issues that will be discussed during the Parliament, we want to hear from as many people with disabilities as possible, as well as those who support and advocate for people with disabilities. So, what issues are you concerned about? What changes do you want to see? Take part in the public survey, have your say and help shape the issues and topics that will be raised and discussed during the Parliament.
