Inclusion Scotland is a national network of disabled people, organisations and allies. We are a Disabled People’s Organisation (DPO) – run by disabled people ourselves. This is important because disabled people know best what prevents our full inclusion into Scottish society and what needs to be done to remove the barriers we confront.

Our vision is that Scotland is a society fit for disabled people. We seek a fully inclusive Scotland where every person knows and exercises their rights and can live their lives fully as equal, included citizens.

Inclusion Scotland works to achieve positive changes to policy and practice, so that disabled people are fully included throughout all Scottish society as equal citizens.

We support disabled people to participate and to be decision-makers themselves, promoting our equal representation and our right to make choices.

At Inclusion Scotland our approach to diversity is simple: it’s about embracing everyone. From cultivating a culture where all team members can be their best at work, to deploying diversity initiatives that support and welcome all.

We’re working to build a more equitable society and workplace.

We are delighted to have opportunities for new people to join us and want to meet candidates who share our values and commitment to Inclusion Scotland’s mission. Applications from disabled people are particularly welcome.
