Here are all our quick e-actions to support our campaigns in one thread 🧵

[Campaign for Disability Justice @CampaignFDJ]

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.

The impact of heat on Disabled people must be understood, so that our experiences inform environmental solutions relating to housing, energy policy, transport, health and social care and emergency planning.

Our comment: “This reform matters because the current framework sends the wrong message.
When disability hate crime is treated differently from racially or religiously aggravated offending it risks reinforcing the perception that hostility towards Disabled people is less serious.

We are shocked and disappointed that the vision of a National Care Service does not include disabled people of working age, who make up 1/3 of social care users and who are facing much harsher charges compared to older people.

There is no such thing as "too young to be Disabled."

Cuts to the Universal Credit health element for under 25s would only push young Disabled people who can't work further into poverty. (1/4) https://t.co/UXjvkb2SlH

If the government are serious about supporting young Disabled people into work they must properly fund Access to Work, which provides adjustments beyond those expected of employers. Instead they're cutting Access to Work packages, forcing young Disabled people out of jobs. (4/4)

Instead, we want to see structural changes in the employment market, including an increase in good quality flexible jobs and the enforcement of employers’ existing legal duty to make reasonable adjustments. (3/4)

“Commencing section 145 would be a clear statement that disability hostility is unacceptable, that Disabled victims deserve equal protection under the law, and that the Government is committed to delivering on the promise of hate crime law reform.”

“Disabled victims already face significant barriers to reporting, being believed and securing justice. The law must not add to those barriers."

Trigger warning: The survey asks some questions that might be emotionally difficult, including asking you to tell us about the impact of not having enough money to live on. You can stop completing the form at any time if it is too difficult for you.
