Inclusion London

Who we are

Inclusion London is a leading disability equality organisation run by and for Deaf and Disabled people. We have built a national reputation for effective policy and campaign work and for providing innovative business and organisational support to local Deaf and Disabled people’s organisations (DDPOs) in London.

Our vision

An inclusive world, free of disabling barriers where diversity and human rights are valued and upheld, and where all Disabled people have dignity, choice & control, justice, inclusion and equality.

Our mission

To promote Disabled people’s equality and inclusion by strengthening our disability rights & justice movement, by capacity building Deaf and Disabled people’s organisations (DDPOs) to deliver empowering and inclusive services and by supporting DDPOs to have a strong and influential collective voice on issues affecting our diverse communities.

Our culture and values

Our values

All our work is based on the followings core values and principles:

· We believe every human being has equal Human rights and is of equal value and worth.

· We are committed to creating an inclusive society, free of all discrimination where everyone can participate and contribute and where diversity, in all its forms including impairment, is valued.

· We believe in a social model of disability that says that people with impairments are disabled by the way society is run and organised and we believe in a cultural model of Deafness that celebrates Deaf people’s linguistic culture and language.

· We believe in taking an intersectional anti-racist approach to our work. We value Disabled people’s intersectional experience and understand Disabled people’s inclusion and equality cannot be achieved until all human beings achieve justice, equality and inclusion.

· We believe in independent living in its fullest sense as defined by the UN Convention of the rights of Disabled people (UNCRDP).

· We are passionate about the unique value of DDPOs, as organisations run by and for Disabled people, in achieving equality for Disabled people and passionate about raising awareness and understanding of the contribution DDPOs make to London.

· We believe in ‘Nothing about us without us’ – that Disabled people and our organisations should be fully involved in decisions and issues that affect us.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We are committed to equality, diversity and reflecting the communities we serve and we particularly welcome applications from Deaf or Disabled people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities.
