ALT After careful consideration, we’ve decided to officially put our presence on X (formerly Twitter) on ice. It has become increasingly clear that the platform’s current direction and governance under Elon Musk no longer align with our values. X’s recent shifts in policy and leadership have raised significant concerns, particularly in the growing attacks on Diversity, Equality, Inclusion, and the disabled community. As an organisation committed to creating an equitable, accessible, and inclusive future of work, we cannot continue to use a platform where these essential principles are being undermined. While we’re pausing our activity on X, we remain committed to connecting, engaging, and growing with our community. Join us on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook to continue the conversation and keep up with our latest updates. Thank you for your understanding.

ALT Heading text reads ‘What inspired you to start doing the work that you currently do?’. Under this, the text reads ‘Because of my own experiences of being discriminated against, constantly doubted and thought less of, since I was young I’ve always had a deep passion for law, politics & policy and a desire to change the mechanisms that govern our daily lives. I’m inspired by the notion of embedding the campaigns we’re all working so hard to achieve into policy so that no matter what, disabled people are protected from ableism. To me, policy is the key to change - we have to improve our laws of equity and inclusion to make sustained and long-term change.’ In the bottom right corner is an illustration of shooting starts flying over the Houses of Parliament.
ALT Heading text reads ‘If you could change one thing about the world of work or the way employers saw accessibility, what would it be and why?’ Below this, text reads ‘That accessibility and the inclusion of disabled people are of equal importance to other diversity and inclusion matters. So often disability is missed out of the conversation and placed on the backbench of importance. Disabled people are being excluded from the workplace due to the lack of prioritisation of accessibility, and many still operate under the manifesto that 'disabled people couldn't possibly want to or could work!' Accessibility is a human right, not a privilege, a favour or a ‘cost’. Equity of access should be a non-negotiable.’
