Last year, a drinker told us about Disability Pride Month on Twitter. Since then, we've been learning a lot and trying to make our offices as accessible as possible. Here are a few of the things we've done in the last year.

[Sight Loss Councils @SLCouncils]

Essex Sight Loss Council has worked with @EssexPoliceUK to develop a Visual Impairment Procedure (VIP) to help #blind and partially sighted people verify the person at their door is a police officer. Learn more: https://t.co/UvoxcGpdOE

It’s #DeafblindAwarenessWeek and #DidYouKnow that my guide dog wears a red and white checked flash to indicate that I have a hearing impairment as well as a visual impairment? Red and white striped canes indicate the person has a hearing impairment also 🦮🦻🏻♿️

Things need to change. Access shouldn’t be an afterthought. We shouldn’t be an afterthought.
