Details

The Regional Stakeholder Network (RSN) was set up in 2019 by the Disability Unit (DU). Its main purpose is to champion the rights of disabled people. It aims to make sure the voices and views of disabled people across England are at the heart of the work of the UK government.

There are 9 regional groups in England:

  • North West
  • North East
  • Yorkshire and the Humber
  • West Midlands
  • East Midlands
  • South West
  • South East
  • East of England
  • Greater London

We use the term ‘disabled people’ to mean people facing disabling societal barriers due to their impairments or conditions (regardless of their age). This includes physical impairments, mental ill health, hearing impairments (including deaf people with BSL as first language), visual impairments, learning difficulties, neurodiverse people, and those with chronic illness or fatigue.
