The UK Government has published its Disability White Paper.

They've announced reforms to the benefits system, and one is to scrap the work capability assessment.

We know this might be worrying, but please remember that the changes won't come into effect immediately (1/5)

@LloydsBank where can I find an EasyRead or simplified version of your UK Consumer Index 2022 report?

So proud of our @DorsetCouncilUK Disability Employee Network and our “It’s Ok” video. We hope it will educate, raise awareness and inspire change for the better, so we can have a world where disabled people feel safe and proud being themselves. https://t.co/SQipwNTOaG

How is this a year ago! Fully into #UKDHM 2022 now and really highlighting the voices of disabled colleagues. Love my job! @DorsetCouncilUK @PeteBartlett5

[Work for Dorset Council @WorkForDorset]

Last year Dorset Council participated in #PurpleLightUp and with our neighbours and partners, lit up local landmarks purple to show our solidarity with disabled people in Dorset.

It was incredible to see so many people turn out on Sunday to protest against the government's decision to exclude transgender people from a ban on conversion therapy.

Incredible ⭐️ 20,000 people have now emailed their MP to #BanConversionTherapy.

LGBTQ+ people have nothing to be ashamed of. There is nothing wrong or broken about who we are.

2 mins of your time can make a lifetime of difference to LGBTQ+ people 💌

A welcome statement from @TheBMA
‘Conversion therapy’ is unethical and damaging, preys on the vulnerable and leads to long lasting harm.
This abhorrent practice must be banned for all LGBT+ people. A ban that excludes trans people is not a ban at all #LGBTHealth 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

[Consortium @LGBTConsortium]

As the UK LGBT+ umbrella body, we wholeheartedly back @StonewallUK’s decision to withdraw support for the UK Government-led Safe To Be Me conference. Read our statement here: https://t.co/hmdA2hXrDz #NotSafeToBeMe #TransRightsAreHumanRights #BanConversionTherapy

[LGBT Foundation @LGBTfdn]

We stand with Stonewall and the majority of the LGBTQ+ and HIV sectors and withdraw all of our support from the Safe To Be Me conference.

Conversion practices are abuse. They must be banned. In every setting and for everyone subjected to it. We demand a ban which is inclusive of all LGBTQA+ people. Speak up to #BanConversionTherapy, continue emailing your MPs 🚨

We now stand with @stonewalluk and other LGBTQ+ organisations in calling for the governments of Wales and Scotland to keep their word and end conversion therapy in their own jurisdictions.
LGBTQ+ people in the UK deserve better.

It's International Trans Day of Visibility today and we wanted to put together some resources to help you learn about issues Trans people can still often face today.
