In March 2023, the Disability and Inclusion Awareness Guidelines were launched. These Guidelines sought to assist judicial officers and regional judiciaries by providing practical tools and guidance as they relate to ensuring access to justice for persons with disabilities in the Caribbean.

The Disability and Inclusion Awareness workshop, which took place on 12th October 2023, built on these Guidelines and offered participants an opportunity to engage with regional disability advocates, explore the underlying ethical imperatives for access to justice, and engage a hypothetical to discuss challenges, solutions, and best practices.

The workshop was facilitated by Justice Peter Jamadar (Chair, CAJO) and Elron Elahie (Research and Programme Coordinator, CAJO) and disability advocates Ms Kerryann Ifill (Barbados) and Mr Ian Roach (Trinidad and Tobago) participated.
