Policy roundup for 2017
The policy papers and briefings we produced this year.
This year we produced 30 policy papers, including six Easy Read briefings.
Our work for the UN work was of particular importance, as was the Disability Inequalities map we produced for the Greater London Assembly (GLA). We submitted six responses to London/Mayoral consultations.
