The Accessible Calderdale Disability Access Forum (ACDAF) is a user led group of people with all disabilities and who live in Calderdale. It is a very diverse group with ages ranging from 20-92 years!
They represent learning disabilities, sensory impairment, physical disabilities and neurodiverse conditions. They listen to our members lived experiences and everyday challenges and bring partners and stakeholders together with our members to look at how access and inclusion can be improved.
They are very keen to work in co production and we work in collaboration with with the local authority, West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA), Canal and River Trust, Northern Rail and design teams/architects.
They meet online and occasionally face to face at an accessible venue in Halifax.
They have focus groups on Transport, countryside and green spaces, tourism and health and wellbeing.
Members can be as involved as they choose but everyone has an equal voice to raise awareness of issues affecting their lives in regards to access and inclusion.
