Disabled Person-Led Monitoring

The DPO Coalition undertakes a Disabled Person-Led Monitoring role. 

Between 2018-2023, the DPO Coalition commissioned the Donald Beasley Institute to undertake this role, and the research is led entirely by disabled people.

These reports will be available once the research is complete.
