In current context of the racist disorder, violence & threats, GDA has been contacted by members who are afraid for themselves, their children & their neighbours. Some have told us they are scared to let their children travel to school on their own or on public transport.

GDA are deeply concerned that the Supreme Court ruling will remove vital protections for many disabled people who rely on health & social care. The Scottish Government must reassure disabled people & families that this judgement will have no impact on the safeguards in Scotland.
#CheshireWest Campaigners have expressed “deep concern” over a ruling by the Supreme Court that could “fundamentally” alter the lives of hundreds of thousands of disabled people who rely on the health and social care systems. disabilitynewsservice.com/su…

Sad to hear from JP Donnelly @Googlemail8 @GDA__online that the anxieties about Covid19 are still there. Not everyone is willing to be out and about meeting people #ReconnectingOurLives

Scotland needs a more honest conversation about how we fund the future. We need to invest in good quality, accessible public services that meet everybody’s needs. Read the #TaxJusticeScotland joint letter to the FM here: bit.ly/TJSFMLetter
