Summary<br />

Freedom to travel, socialise, work and live independently is a<br />

fundamental right for any young person. However there are<br />

a number of extra factors that young disabled people have<br />

to consider before they can make any decisions. Our research<br />

shows that it is likely that taking action, providing information<br />

and suggesting improvements can make <strong>Northern</strong> <strong>Ireland</strong> a<br />

more inclusive place to live, work and socialise.<br />

<strong>Trailblazers</strong> hope that this report will not only bring attention to key areas of concern, but<br />

will also emphasise progress and positive change. In order for young disabled people to<br />

have the same opportunities as their non-disabled peers, there needs to be communication,<br />

investment, consultation and increased awareness of the benefits these will bring to both<br />

disabled people and the wider public.<br />
