About Us
The Supported Needs and Disability Office is situated in Suite 955 (Building 9, Floor 5), Europort, under the auspices of the Chief Minister and directly under Minister Santos.
It is a centralised office with the sole purpose of coordinating and liaising with all government departments and agencies, and with the community, to streamline disability services.
This is achieved by:
- Developing and implementing multi-agency pathways.
- Developing and implementing a National Supported Needs and Disability Strategy for Gibraltar.
- Developing, implementing and maintaining a Disability Database.
- Liaise with disability-related charities and support groups with a view of helping their individual causes, but also to understand the lived experiences of these groups.
- Hosting Disability Clinics to support individuals with disabilities and their families. This also helps government understand the lived experiences of the community.
- Having an up-to-date overview of the Disability landscape of Gibraltar.
