The Scoping Panel said that many parts of a person’s life can affect their experiences.

For example, their age or background.

They said that new panels should think about how data about disability includes other parts of people’s lives.

The Scoping Panel also said it can be hard for people with disability to find and use:

• information online

• services online.

The Scoping Panel said that new panels should think about how this could affect data.

The Scoping Panel also said that new panels should include people with disability as members.

The Scoping Panel said that new panels should focus on 4 groups.

• The Deafblind community.

People who are Deafblind are both:

• Deaf
• blind.

• Children and young people with disability.

• Neurodivergent people.

When someone is neurodivergent, their brain works in different ways.

• People with intellectual disability.

An intellectual disability affects how you:

• learn new things
• solve problems
• communicate
• do things on your own.

The Scoping Panel said new panels should look at:

• what information is missing about each group

• what information we should include in the Data Asset.

The Scoping Panel also said new panels should think about different parts of people’s lives.

This includes focusing on:

• working and earning money

• support to have enough money.

This also includes focusing on housing that:

• doesn’t cost too much
• is accessible.

When housing is accessible:

• it works well for the people who live there
• it is easy to move around in.

This also includes focusing on different places where people with disability learn.
