The Wheelchair Alliance, a community interest company (CIC) dedicated to improving the lives of wheelchair users, has launched its three-year strategy focused on access, innovation, and equity in wheelchair provision.

The Wheelchair Alliance has called on Government to remove ‘ridiculous’ guidance that could see children needing driving licences for wheelchairs. Here, Nick Goldup, COO and chair of the Alliance explains more.

The Wheelchair Alliance is an organisation which represents the voices of wheelchair users and we have urged the Government to act now on an update to current guidance that would require disabled children to have driving licences and insurance for their powered wheelchairs.
