Disability Essex

Our disability information advice line (helpline) is manned by disabled volunteers and operates from Monday to Friday each week. Our helpline volunteers use online databases, together with an information library, to help them to provide advice/assistance.

If appropriate, our volunteers signpost callers to another, more appropriate, source of assistance/information.

Our online database of disability information can help you with answers to many of your questions - ranging from where to get a disabled parking (blue) badge, to checking the support available for a relative with Parkinson's disease.

If you cannot find the answer you are looking for, then please contact our helpline advisors.

Our many member clubs form a disability support network across the County as well as providing social and recreational facilities.

We run an Access Auditor training course to provide disabled people with new skills and qualifications to assist them into permanent employment.

Successful students, and other trained auditors, are available to undertake access audits, disability awareness and other training.
