Consejo Español para la Defensa de la Discapacidad y la Dependencia (CEDDD)

What Consejo Español para la Defensa de la Discapacidad y la Dependencia (CEDDD) does

Consejo Español para la Defensa de la Discapacidad y la Dependencia (CEDDD) is a Spanish nonprofit association founded in 2019 and headquartered in Madrid that defends the rights of people with disabilities, individuals in dependency situations, and elderly persons. The organization operates a hybrid membership-and-services model serving three primary constituencies: individuals seeking legal guidance, employment placement, and discrimination support; companies needing compliance with the Ley General de Discapacidad (LGD, formerly LISMI) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives; and social entities, foundations, and associations active in the disability, dependency, and elderly care sectors. CEDDD is led by President Albert Campabadal Mas and Executive Vice President Mar Ugarte, with regional representation including a Comunidad Valenciana chapter, and operates from a registered office on Calle de Luis I, 7 in Madrid.

CEDDD's service portfolio is centered on legal advisory delivered through a partner network of collaborating law firms (Grupo Garantía, Jover y Marben, Corominas, Ángeles Blanco, Lovilegal, Legaldis), employment facilitation via the Canal Empleo portal that connects job seekers with Special Employment Centers such as SIFU and CONACEE, universal accessibility consulting, LGD compliance advisory, inclusive training and corporate volunteering, and a discrimination reporting channel (Canal de Denuncias). The Alianzas Sociales project acts as a broker that channels corporate CSR and compliance needs to a network of more than 3,000 affiliated social organizations across Spain. Content distribution is handled through the ceddd.org website, an email newsletter, the 'El Rincón Social' YouTube podcast, and jornadas (educational seminars). In July 2026 CEDDD extended into insurance product co-creation by partnering with ASISA and GerBrokers to launch an exclusive health insurance product for people with disabilities.

The underlying technology is a standard digital platform — a website, email/newsletter infrastructure, YouTube channel, and Google Analytics for traffic measurement — with no proprietary software, AI, hardware, or data products; the organization's defensible value derives from its regulatory advocacy, member ecosystem, and convening power rather than from technology. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring membership fees paid by individuals, companies, and entities (annual subscription), supplemented by corporate partnership and sponsorship income from Alianzas Sociales. The go-to-market is multi-channel and event-driven: direct outreach, jornadas and conferences, institutional engagement at the Spanish Congress of Deputies, partner referrals, and digital self-service via the website, supported by a partner/reseller distribution model for legal services and employment placement.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• ONCE (Organización Nacional de Ciegos Españoles): Spain's largest disability organization, with decades of institutional weight, a national lottery-funded service network, and a dedicated employment insertion arm (Fundación ONCE, ILUNION). Comparable to CEDDD as a multi-stakeholder national disability platform, though with vastly greater financial scale and a single-condition origin.
• Fundación ONCE: Foundation arm of ONCE focused on employment and training for people with disabilities. Comparable employer-facing services (LGD-equivalent compliance, recruitment, training), but operates as part of a much larger, lottery-funded ecosystem.

Direct peers

• Plena Inclusión España: Confederation representing organizations supporting people with intellectual disabilities and their families in Spain. Comparable national advocacy and services platform; CEDDD differentiates by extending into dependency and elderly alongside disability.
• FIAPAS (Confederación Española de Familias de Personas Sordas): Spanish confederation of deaf-person families' associations. Comparable national advocacy and service platform with member-entity structure and policy-influence focus.
• COCEMFE (Confederación Española de Personas con Discapacidad Física y Orgánica): Spanish confederation of physical and organic disability organizations. Directly comparable to CEDDD as a national advocacy and service platform for a defined disability constituency, with overlapping employer-facing services and member-entity model.
• Down España: Federation of Down syndrome associations across Spain, providing advocacy, services, and family support. Comparable to CEDDD's member-entity model and individual/family support focus, though narrower in constituency.
• CERMI (Comité Español de Representantes de Personas con Discapacidad): National umbrella platform representing disability organizations before Spanish and EU institutions. Closest functional peer to CEDDD in serving as a cross-disability advocacy and representation body, though CERMI is more institutionally focused and CEDDD is broader (disability + dependency + elderly).
• FEDER (Federación Española de Enfermedades Raras): Spanish federation of rare disease patient organizations. Comparable multi-stakeholder national advocacy association model with member entities, family services, and policy influence activities similar to CEDDD's structure.
• Confederación ASPACE: Spanish confederation of cerebral palsy associations. Directly comparable as a national umbrella providing advocacy, services, and family support for a specific disability constituency.

Regional players

• European Disability Forum (EDF): European-level umbrella of disability organizations with policy advocacy in Brussels. Comparable advocacy model but at pan-European rather than national scale; CEDDD's connection is via its institutional/congress work in Spain.
