Welcome

The Citizenship Academy is a project created by Leonard Cheshire Disability in partnership with the Electoral Commission.

The Academy aims to empower disabled people across Scotland to become more actively involved in their local communities, with an emphasis on learning about Scotland’s decision making processes and how they can be part of them.

This website is a guide to the Academy; our aims, and the way in which the course equips disabled people with the confidence, skills and knowledge to get their voices heard.

It is also a base for our existing students and graduates to share information and ideas with each other and the academy’s network.
