Implementation of the UN Convention: Office for Disability Issues - Disabled people and legislation. How to make sure government policies comply with the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabled People What does implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabled People mean for UK government? UK government departments must consider the Convention when developing new policies and programmes. If policies are being changed or new ones are being developed they must be considered against the Convention. However, departments should realise the Convention is a complex document and legal advice may be needed to interpret parts of it. Some articles are owned by more than one government department so they will need to work together to coordinate some policy responses. How can government departments ensure their policies comply with the UN Convention? Government officials must think about what their policy is trying to achieve and how it may affect disabled people.
