What a pleasure to celebrate @OnOurRadar's 10th birthday last night - ten years of enabling people to tell their own stories, in their own words, and their own way. We've seen first hand how much this has changed lives. Happy Birthday team, see you in 2032. 🎂

10 years apart! Two photos taken in the very same room at the @guardian where On Our Radar was originally launched. The logo has changed, as has the team, but our mission & values remain as relevant now as they were then.

@ali__gunn @AnTaibhseLach I did exactly the same!

[Sam101 @SamBuckley101]

@RachelMullerH Best of luck Rachel! You'll ace whatever's next

[Sam101 @SamBuckley101]

Great to see the release of this new #disabilityhatecrime toolkit, co-designed by disabled people, allies and academics. Well worth a look.

It’s launch day for our disability hate crime toolkit! We can’t believe that this day is finally here. Follow this link to access our toolkit homepage and explore of our different resources. https://t.co/NhdWrtHCe9

It’s #DisabilityPayGapDay today (7 November).

On average, disabled workers will now work for nothing until the end of the year.

How is this still the case? 🧵

@JoshReevesDCMS Try past 8pm. I need to rebuild that wall

[Sam101 @SamBuckley101]

@Rob_Whipp I raise you 20p

[Sam101 @SamBuckley101]

Really proud of this report and the hard work that went into it from the folks at @unitedresponse and @LeonardCheshire - and it means a great deal to hear this from @NeilChakraborti!

[Neil Chakraborti @NeilChakraborti]

Important research from @LeonardCheshire @unitedresponse which highlights the painful truths surrounding #disability #hatecrime and the urgent steps we need to take.
Well worth reading the report in full👇🏽#HCAW2022

[Leonard Cheshire @LeonardCheshire]

Dear future Prime Minister - uprate benefits inline with inflation.

That is all. For now.

[Ali Gunn (she/her) @ali__gunn]

It was great to meet with Reuben and @rose_baldwin to film this important report for @Channel4News. We talk about the impact of #DisabilityHateCrime on victims and what action @unitedresponse and @LeonardCheshire want the government to take:

@Soapsub @LeonardCheshire @unitedresponse @BBCNews Thank you for speaking out, Cassie! X

[Sam101 @SamBuckley101]

Six months of research with @leonardcheshire and @unitedresponse have laid out the scale of #disability hate crime, and how few cases result in charges for perpetrators.

It's a stark story, but great to see outlets like @BBCNews explore the issue.

[Leonard Cheshire @LeonardCheshire]

No one should have to worry about physical or verbal abuse when leaving the house. But #Disabled people do, because they know their disability can make them a target.

Not sure it's a UK problem?

Have a look at our research and Cassie's experiences 👇

Today we joined @savechildrenuk, @38degrees, @mencap_charity, @turn2us_org and other organisations to deliver 404,790 signatures to @trussliz.

The government must do more to support #Disabled people through the #CostOfLiving crisis.

[Sam101 @SamBuckley101]

@RachelMullerH Next time Rachel 😄

@JoshReevesDCMS @parkrowlondon Bruce?

[Evie Breese @EvieBreese]

If you're going to sack 800 people you first have to:
1. inform the government
2. consult with the unions
P&O Ferries did 1 but not 2, making the move illegal and the government complicit

This is what #GDS22 is really about - offering opportunities and changing lives

[Leonard Cheshire @LeonardCheshire]

Boke became pregnant during the Covid-19 school closures, and was at risk of dropping out of the school forever.

Combined support played a vital role in convincing Boke to remain in school. Now she's successfully balancing her education with looking after her one-year-old son

[Gemma Hope @GemmaHopePolicy]

Great work from @MarcusL_E and the @LC_Policy team in launching this important report on Why Disability Data Matters. Read the report below:

[Sam101 @SamBuckley101]

Happy to have worked with @GemmaHopePolicy to raise the important questions in this letter

[Leonard Cheshire @LeonardCheshire]

Disabled people have faced a higher clinical risk, bigger threats to job security and more barriers to living well from #Covid19.

The government must consider our roadmap out of restrictions carefully, so that everyone remains safe and treated equitably.
