Dear Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister,

Disability Rights UK has published new materials on making local communities inclusive

Today’s local communities are strongest when they enable all, diverse citizens to participate socially, economically and politically. These inclusive communities have better health, improved economic development, stronger political institutions and more effective public services. One in 5 of us is living with a health condition or disability. Economic recovery and social well-being cannot happen without inclusion.

Please add links here that have exipired/ become outdated.

Tier 4 has been announced for 20 million people, mainly in London and the South East. Support bubbles remain unaffected, but Christmas plans for many are severely affected. Details here: [19th Dec 2020]

The Social Model of Disability was developed by Disabled people and describes people as being disabled by barriers in society, not by our impairment or difference. If modern life was set up in a way that was accessible for Disabled people, then we would not be excluded or restricted.
