At this meeting, there will be a presentation and discussion on community safety, and how it particularly affects the safety and wellbeing of disabled people.

We will also finalise the governance structure for the group and seek to agree membership for a steering group and leadership positions. (I will be sending a follow-up email on this next week).

I hope that as many of you as possible can join us – please share this invite with disabled people, carers and support organisations that you know.
