DAAG’s role includes:
- acting as a specialist consultation body on disability matters for board, staff and co-regulation groups
- monitoring the delivery of Soha’s Single Equality Strategy
- advising on proposed new strategies, policies, procedures and service standards
- commenting on Soha’s development plans for accessible housing
- testing Soha’s services to make sure they are accessible to disabled tenants
- providing information and signposting to external agencies for Soha’s disabled residents, and
- promoting the work of DAAG to Soha’s residents and providing feedback on their activities.
Membership of DAAG is open to all Soha residents who have a disability or who have a disabled household member, and other Soha residents may attend meetings as observers at the Chair’s discretion. The full DAAG Group meets about four times a year in a venue which is accessible for disabled people.
