We have set the dates for the Disabled People’s Panel for 2026, to ensure people have time to plan ahead and to give the best opportunity for people to attend.
All Panel Meetings will take place at Choices and Rights offices at Jude Lodge, Tiverton House, Tiverton Road, Bransholme, Hull HU7 4QS between 11.00am and 1.00pm.
Details of speakers and the subjects to be discussed will be announced nearer the time. The dates are:
  • 16 July 2026
  • 15 October 2026
Access Requirements
We aim to meet all access requirements, but this may depend on the amount of notice we are given. The earlier you can tell us your needs, the more likely we will be able to meet them. We are able to consider assisting with transport costs (e.g. mileage expenses, bus fares, etc), but we will only pay for taxis if you are unable to use public transport.
Book your place now by email at: office@choicesandrights.org.uk
or call Hull (01482) 878778

 

If you are a disabled person or have a long-term health condition, we would like your views.

Choices and Rights started as a campaigning group to ensure that disabled people’s views were heard, rather than other people or charities speaking on our behalf. As well as providing key services around independent living, we are also involved in Policy Influencing.

We aim for the DPP to meet 4 times a year and you will also be able to join online. If you want to attend, but can’t afford it, we will see if we can pay transport costs.

Policy influencing is what we do to influence positive change with local, regional, and national government. We want to be a voice for our members and service users and use your views and experiences to influence change

We do this by writing to local and national government decision makers, elected members and ministers, and meeting with them, as well as writing reports and sharing evidence and ideas. We also respond to local council consultations on issues that matter to disabled people, such as changes to policies, budgets, and plans for the local area

We do not have a set list of topics that have to be discussed, so this gives you the opportunity to have your voice heard.

Want to be involved?

We always want to her your views and experiences to help us share the evidence to influence change, so please contact us to sign up for the Disabled Peoples Panel.

If you require the form in a different format, please contact us on Hull (01482) 878778/ mark@choicesandrights.org.uk
