Equalities and community partnerships unit

Improving access for disabled people
Increasing awareness and adopting inclusive design principles make it easier for people with disabilities to access services on the same terms as everyone else.
Interpreting and translating
We provide interpreting and translating services in most of the languages spoken in the borough, including sign language and Braille.
Social model of disability
Croydon Council has adopted the social model of disability. We believe that negative attitudes and lack of awareness are the main barriers to people with disabilities achieving full equality.
