ALT Purple graphic with quote in white box and picture of Chloe. Quote reads “We are disappointed that the Spending Review today has little mention of disabled people and carers; investment in whom would help not only be the right thing to do, but would solve the UK’s economic challenges. Through large investments in transport and housing, the Government have missed out on the opportunity to invest in accessible housing and transport. Announcements on investment in education and training, as well as R&D, have missed the opportunity to commit to improving inclusive education, and investment in better job opportunities. At a time at such uncertainty for disabled people, with welfare reforms looming, it is disappointing to see a lack of investment to break down the barriers that disabled people face in their day to day life. This would not only be the right thing to do, but it would unlock growth and improve opportunity for all of us.”
