News Item: DWP Supporting International Day of Persons with Disabilities

This year, the UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) is on Thursday 3rd December. Introduced in 1992, the IDPD aims to promote the rights and well-being of disabled people across society. This year’s theme is ‘Building Back Better: toward a disability-inclusive, accessible and sustainable post Covid-19 world’.
