Ms Hannah Gilmartin:

We have been working a lot with the National Disability Authority. It has clarified for us our obligations under the CRPD. What will be useful for our work, going forward, is that as part of our "leave no one behind" piece of work, we are going to do an audit of existing tools, guidance, guidelines and advice and we will put them into a central area. It will not be specifically focused on the area of disability but that will be a key component. It is about having that central list for people across Departments, including policymakers and the different people who lead on engagement, to refer to and to think about whether they have considered the different steps they need to take into account to leave no one behind. We are very aware that the National Disability Authority has recently issued guidance on taking a universal design approach to participation. It is about ensuring our colleagues also know that. Those tools will help, as will having a central area and central guidance to which people can refer to find the relevant documents and links that are available. Things do sometimes get lost in the mix.
