Creating a Strategy for people with Physical disabilities in Hertfordshire

Focus groups - Contribute your views to developing a new Physical Disability Strategy for Hertfordshire.

We have been invited to help to gather the views of people who live across Hertfordshire. We want to learn what a good life means to you and what helps or gets in the way at the moment. The things you tell us will help shape the local plan. If you would like to know more about NDTI and what we do, please click this link: NDTI - About Us

Hertfordshire County Council believes everyone should be able to live the life they choose, stay connected, active, happy and well.

These focus groups are open to anyone who is physically disabled and lives in Hertfordshire, or families, carers and paid supporters who know or work with people. We are very keen to hear from as many people with lived experience as possible to ensure that their experiences and views are what shapes the priorities in this strategy. We will be asking you about your personal experiences and ideas, what is working well or what the challenges are for disabled people in Hertfordshire. Each group has 10 spaces. Two people, including someone with lived experience, will facilitate each group.
