RT by @CarolineLucas: ✅ @TheGreenParty Disability policy update - passed!

Delighted that #GPC24 has voted for a set of updated Disability policies, including:

- Introduce Disabled People’s Commissioners in Wales & England
- Tackle the disability employment gap
- Expand existing apprenticeship scheme and improve access to higher education for disabled people
- All teachers to receive SEND training
- Improve accessibility on public transport
- Invest in adapting homes + stronger protections for disabled renters

Also delighted that our hybrid conference allows me and many other members to vote on our policies when we're not able to attend in person.

Huge thanks to all those who worked on this new set of policies 🙏
