We're stronger when we work together. That's why we're meeting other Disabled leaders at @trustforlondon today, to talk about how we can work collaboratively to support our community, and help more people understand Disability equality.

Everyone should be able to access the support they need, when they need it. A new review highlights the need for earlier support and access to services and resources for people with ADHD, autism, or mental health conditions.

Disabled people are a community who care, but recently MPs and the media have tried to divide us based on our diagnoses. Please share your experiences to help push back, explaining why all people should be equally respected, whatever impairments and conditions we live with.

Great to see @InclusionLondon launch Disability Media Action. Research shows that Disabled people are rarely included in news stories about us. The media has a powerful role in shaping public attitudes and policy. Let's challenge harmful narratives and create lasting change!

Disablism in the media feeds hostility and hate crime against Disabled people. It's got to stop. This National Hate Crime Awareness Week, we're launching Disability Media Action. #NationalHCAW
Disability media action. Logo of a pair of binoculars with eyes. Make disablism unprofitable. 3 steps. 1. Monitor. We have launched an online form, through which people can send us any media coverage which concerns them, and any adverts which appeared alongside it. 2. Expose. We will bring together the evidence gathered, building up a pattern of evidence that cannot be dismissed. 3. Change. We will use our evidence base to put pressure on advertisers to stop funding media outlets who spread disablism. If advertisers don’t fund them, media organisations have another reason to change. Let’s show the media that disablism doesn’t pay.

Many Disabled people want to carry on working, but employers aren't always willing to work with us. We talked to journalist Linda Howard about new Government plans to help Disabled people stay in work, and why employers need to do their bit: buff.ly/YYcQroL

Disabled people call for more support to find work under new DWP plan

Campaigners have welcomed plans for more inclusive workplaces but say barriers facing disabled people trying to find accessible jobs also need to be addressed.

New research from ACAS has found that nearly 70% of Disabled people have experienced issues at work. Employers have wrongly questioned requests for adjustments, delayed support, and failed to discuss workplace needs. 🔗 buff.ly/E71ygkQ

Social care should work for everyone who needs it. While plans for a National Care Service have been welcomed, working-age Disabled people have been excluded from the initial proposals. We need a social care system that supports all Disabled people.

I could not agree more strongly with this view. Take the same approach as you would with people affected by other issues, i.e. speak to those directly affected by the issue at hand. You will discover a level of expertise on policy and practices and valuable lived experiences.

If there's a news story about Disabled people, surely Disabled people should be part of it? But research into the press shows that it's rarely the case It's so easy to put this right - if you're writing about Disabled people - talk to one! 🔗 buff.ly/TurUfN1
