Getting a job or education, getting between home and work, going out to enjoy ourselves are activities most of us take for granted. But for too many disabled people these ordinary aspects of life remain difficult to achieve.

Removing the barriers that exclude or disable people who have impairments can bring about change that can make a real difference to the people we serve. The Scheme and its action plan have been developed as a result of working with disabled and Deaf people over the past two years and more.

Launched on the International Day of Disabled, 3 December 2009 'Disabled Go Trafford' provides free detailed access information to give disabled people, their friends, family, colleagues and carers free accurate detailed information about the places they choose to visit.

Trafford DIS provides information to Deaf and disabled people, as well as those that support us, on anything to do with independent living and disability access to services.
