Dr. Iris Elliott:

That is absolutely key. Accessible communication is also important and again, we benefit from the fact that not only is there the UNCRPD, but there are also all the general comments and interpretations on things like accessibility. I would also draw attention to the EU directive on standards for equality bodies which need to be transposed by 19 June 2026. There are particular articles there about information, promotion of rights, reasonable accommodation, and equal access for all. In terms of our role as the national equality body, there is an article on data. There are lots of resources forthcoming from the transposition of those standards in an ambitious way in terms of our own responsibilities, not only as the independent monitoring mechanism but also as the national equality body.
