Disability Action Plan
Introduction
A Disability Action Plan (DAP) is a crucial document for organisations aiming to be more inclusive and accessible. It outlines clear goals and practical steps to welcome diversity.
Benefits for Volunteer Organisations and Volunteer Management
Implementing a Disability Action Plan can transform an organisation. It not only shows a commitment to diversity and inclusion but also boosts volunteer recruitment and management. This, in turn, enriches the organisational culture, making it more vibrant and diverse.
For those managing volunteers, improving a Disability Action Plan is key. This involves listening to volunteers' suggestions, expanding initiatives, setting clear inclusivity goals, and possibly forming a Disability Advisory Committee. These steps ensure that volunteering opportunities are open and accessible to everyone.
Application
There are plenty of resources and templates available to help develop a robust Disability Action Plan. This support makes it easier for organisations to embark on their journey towards greater inclusivity and diversity.
