An estimated two thirds of all households in Jersey contain at least one person with a functional impairment (difficulty carrying out everyday tasks due to a sensory, physical or mental impairment). This is around 35,000 individuals. These are not small numbers and disability is not an issue that should be marginalised. Yet people living with a disability currently report having a lower level of wellbeing than non-disabled Islanders. The life experience of people with a disability can be very different from those without a disability. There are barriers for people with disabilities in accessing services that many take for granted, including health, education, employment, and transport.
