Barrier-free belonging
Celebrating the gifts and ministry of Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people in the church
THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND IS committed to removing the barriers that Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people face within the church. We want all people to be able to fully belong and participate in the life, mission and ministry of the church and we want all people to be able to flourish and grow as disciples and ministers, regardless of any physical, sensory or cognitive difference.
This webpage leads to a full section of information and resources on activities to foster and grow the inclusion and participation of all our church members regardless of difference or disability.
Information is provided on a range of schemes including grant-funding, guidance on running an accessibility audit, and details of disability advisers and Chaplains to the Deaf.
