We are planning to launch a NW TUC Disability Forum, which will bring together trade union representatives from the North West to promote action on issues of concern to disabled trade union members.
The format for the event will be an opening plenary session with speakers who will reflect on some of the current issues, this will be followed by group discussions to begin to set the priorities for this new group.
The event will be held on the 14 June in Manchester, from 11.00 - 14.00 and will include a sandwich lunch.
Please let me know who will be attending from your organisation and what access requirements they have - in order to meet all requests it will be important to have replies as soon as possible and by the 2 June a the latest.
This opening event is open to all, but to establish the Forum we are inviting Unions and County Associations to formally appoint up to three delegates and I attach a form that I would be grateful if you could use for your reply. We will also be pleased to welcome visitors to all future Forum meetings - and if you have members who would like to be kept informed of activities please also include their details on the delegate form.
