City Of Newcastle Aims To Be More Inclusive

 BY IAN CROUCH

Newcastle Council has put forward plans to make the city accessible and inclusive for everyone.

Councillors have adopted the Disability Inclusion Plan, which focuses on developing positive community attitudes to disabled people as well as creating livable communities, supporting access to meaningful employment and improving access to mainstream services.

Low sensory sessions at Newcastle Museum, cultural and arts programs and inclusive games and sports are among a range of events planned for the month-long Count Us In Program which will be supported by a grants program.
