Gerard outlines CDLP’s activities and achievements in gaining civil and political rights for disabled people and influencing public policy. He explains how CDLP is engaged in many international networks and national research bodies in the area of disability and how CDLP became the first in Europe to offer a masters and research programmes in disability law and policy.
