Inclusion Barnet is a Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisation (DDPO), based in Barnet, North-West London.
This means that all of our Trustees and most of our staff have lived experience of disability. We are pan-impairment, so disability can include mental health issues and/or long-term conditions. This experience gives us a deep understanding of how society can be made more equal and inclusive.
Learning to use lived experience for social change is a skill. We have become experts in harnessing lived experience of our staff, members, volunteers, and the people who use our services. We use this understanding to design and deliver higher quality, more person-centred services. This benefits both disabled people and society more widely. We also support other organisations to do the same.
