Background: Inclusion Gloucestershire asked a lot of people to tell us their views in 2021.
We used the results to:
- Write 8 reports, including a headline report that showed health was the most important area for people in 2021 (Please see reports below)
- Write a new strategy (a big plan) that is guiding our work at Inclusion Gloucestershire over the next three years
- Meet with commissioners from social care, health and housing to discuss our findings and what actions would be taken as a result
- Let partner organisations know what was important to disabled people so they could help them more effectively
