Disabled people face barriers in their everyday lives that prevent them from being full and active members of their community.

Through the Accessible Britain Challenge we want to encourage communities to become more inclusive and accessible.

Use the toolkits in this guidance to help remove barriers that prevent disabled people being full and active participants in their community.
