Many #disabled children are being forced to self isolate for 10 days or be forced to take a PCR test leading to trauma for child and parent to access their education despite a government approved #COVID19 saliva test! Please sign the petition!

Overgrown vegetation like trees, shrubs & grass can be a real hazard for #blind & #PartiallySighted people and impact on people's lives daily. Today, Sight Loss Councils & @PocklingtonHub are launching a new campaign to encourage residents to #CutItBack: https://t.co/Pg6H9bC95B
A pleasure to join @RNIBRadio with Sight Loss Council member @NikkiHughes87 to talk about our collaboration with @GTRailUK across the South and East of England to #MakeTransportAccessible for blind and partially sighted people 🚉
SLCs are working with e-bike & e-scooter operators to make the streets safer for #blind & #PartiallySighted people.
We worked with @limebike to create video which explains the impact of inappropriate parking on people with sight loss.

Lovely meal on Friday night with @SLCouncils members across London, celebrating our fabulous achievements over the last year and to thank volunteers for their ongoing commitment 🙏
Great to meet with @wandbc Road Safety and Engineering teams today with South West London @SLCouncils members. We explored various cycling routes in South West London to advise on accessibility for blind and partially sighted pedestrians, to inform future council projects.
Great morning meeting representatives from the Engineering and Road Safety teams at @wandbc with @haren_34, SW London @SLCouncils member. We were out on the riverside path in Wandsworth, discussing how safety can be improved between cyclists and blind & partially sighted people.
Great to be at @westfieldlondon today with @SLCouncils speaking to the public about how they can be mindful of blind and partially sighted people as they shop, and how we use aids and tools to access products!
My stepdad @ChrisGPackham has bared the brunt of obsessive bullies who’ve burnt down his gates, thrown dead animals into his garden + sent death threats. They spread lies and hate because he stands up for wildlife.
I stand by him wholeheartedly
Pls share

@BBCNews Absolutely devastating news. George was a wonderful, compassionate person who had an electrifying smile that could light up the room. Absolutely heart breaking. Thoughts and prayers are with his family at this sad time. You will be forever missed George.
Are you a parent to a #SEND child? Does your child have #SEN needs? Is your child unable to take a PCR test? There is a solution and we're trying to get the government to approve it to all special needs schools! Help us do that by signing the petition https://t.co/2TfreSYsQX
Many #ActuallyAutistic children are being forced to self isolate or be tortured by being forced to do a PCR test against their will to access their education and vital therapies when there is a saliva test available. Help us change this!

We've just launched a campaign demanding a less invasive, more effective method of Covid testing young people and children in special schools. The current Covid test can be traumatising for autistics and those with sensory needs, there is a better way. RT

#publichealth#clinicalcarecommission and my son's school do not care about the welfare of my child, our family or children with sever disabilities and are fundamentally letting them down.
#Thread#Covid_19#Disability
My son attends a special needs for severe and complex learning difficulties. Their covid 19 policy is that if a child presents with covid 19 on site nursing team provided by public health assess the child and send them home. Cont:
Public health are dragging their heels on offering children with severe disabilities the right to a inclusive covid 19 so that they can access the community, education and vital services. My son is being discriminated against by this policy.
