The Greater Manchester (GM) Disabled People's Panel is an independent strategic body made up of disabled people's organisations from across Greater Manchester.

All of the members are disabled people and they seek to influence policy to support the rights of disabled people in GM.

They also scrutinise, consult and advise the Mayor of GM Andy Burnham and the GM Combined Authority.

This survey aims to find out what issues disabled people face during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and will be used to inform GM services how to meet those support needs. This is why the survey includes demographic questions to better gather information of how different communities are experiencing the impact of the pandemic. The survey remains anonymous.
