NZ Disability Strategy
The aim of the NZ Disability Strategy, 'Making a World of Difference, Whakanui Oranga', is to remove the barriers which prevent disabled people from participating fully in society. The strategy outlines 15 objectives in areas such as human rights, social attitudes, education and employment, recreation and lifestyle, information, public services and support systems. More than 100 broad government actions will support these objectives.
Government departments will be required to prepare annual work plans outlining how they intend putting in place the NZ Disability Strategy. Eleven departments will develop work plans for 2001/02. From 2002/03, all government departments will develop annual work plans. Departmental performance will be monitored with input from disabled people. Overall progress will be reviewed after 5 and 10 years.
| The NZ Disability Strategy and related information is available on the website www.nzds.govt.nz . The Strategy document and the summary of consultation findings will also be available in a variety of formats, including large font, Braille, audio-cassette and an easy-to-read version |
