Everyone who would like to work should have an equal chance, but some employers are reluctant to employ Disabled people The Gov wants fewer Disabled people to receive support. Meanwhile 28% of Disabled people have been pushed into poverty Let's change it buff.ly/Ew4oItM
A cartoon. A person sits bewildered, having fallen into a pit marked poverty. Two people in grey suits look down at them. One is a man labelled Government, the other a woman labelled Employers. Both are carrying ladders. The man labelled Government says in a speech bubble, “sorry we'd love to help, but you're too disabled for that ladder and not disabled enough for this one.”

Just throw us a ladder! Ever feel caught between employers who won't employ Disabled people, and a Government demanding Disabled people work? Share if you agree it's time to speak up 🔗 buff.ly/Ew4oItM #OpportunitySecurityRespect

You may have seen news that the Supreme Court has made a ruling about Deprivation of Liberty Standards (DoLS). We know it might be a frightening time. We're meeting other Disabled people’s organisations to discuss what to do.

If you're a disabled person who faces barriers to work, does work, or would like to work, tell the Government what you think about Access to Work, flexible, hybrid, and remote jobs: buff.ly/Y5DlE1V
A graphic of a Filofax with a tab marked 'opportunity'. The page says: "Disabled people who are able to work are trying to, but we’re locked out of opportunities when workplaces aren’t accessible, or employers are rigid. Work needs to work, for everyone who can work. What makes a workplace accessible for you, and gives you opportunities to thrive?"

Everyone needs security, and Disabled people are telling the Government that PIP gives us that. Read our response to the call for evidence: buff.ly/H6309Xl
A graphic of a Filofax with a tab marked 'security'. Text reads: Security means knowing we can pay the bills, put food on the table, and take part in everyday life without constant fear of falling behind. Many Disabled people earn too little, and have to rely on inadequate top-up benefits. Disabled people who cannot work depend on benefits that don’t cover the costs we face. Let’s make a world where everyone has security. Join us, to be part of it.'

Young people should get a chance to thrive at work, but Disabled young people who are able to work, and looking for opportunities, are missing from this announcement. The Government must include people facing the most barriers, to lift everyone up.

Access to Work should level the playing field, providing the accessibility tools Disabled people need to work. It's not working the way it should, and neither is flexible work. @hoccommitteesuk is asking what needs to change. 📣 Share your views: buff.ly/YWlK1A6
"Access to Work needs to be quick and effective, so that every Disabled person who would like to work has the freedom to pursue their career. But thousands of Disabled people are enduring delays of 18 months or more." Quote from Caroline Collier, CEO
