Just throw us a ladder!

Ever feel caught between employers who won't employ Disabled people, and a Government demanding Disabled people work?

Share if you agree it's time to speak up

@anton_simp66 We know the feeling. But we must all be pretty solid to keep going anyway, despite it!

[Campaign for Disability Justice @CampaignFDJ]

Everyone should be able to choose their own path in life, but many Disabled people are being blocked from careers by rigid employers and Access to Work delays.

📣 Help tell the Government what needs to change: https://t.co/9Su7v7b1ww

[Campaign for Disability Justice @CampaignFDJ]

@PriceyBeans So much of this chimes with many things we've seen. We'll share a little something on it soon, and the steps we're taking to start changing it.

Young people should get a chance to thrive at work, but Disabled young people who are able to work, and looking for opportunities, are missing from this announcement. The Government must include people facing the most barriers, to lift everyone up.

[Department for Work and Pensions @DWPgovuk]

Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden responds to the Young People and Work interim report published by Alan Milburn today

We want young people, whatever their background, to fulfil their potential – and our Youth Guarantee is a part of what we are doing to make that happen

[Campaign for Disability Justice @CampaignFDJ]

You may have seen news that the Supreme Court has made a ruling about Deprivation of Liberty Standards (DoLS). We know it might be a frightening time. We're meeting other Disabled people’s organisations to discuss what to do.

[Campaign for Disability Justice @CampaignFDJ]

If you're a disabled person who faces barriers to work, does work, or would like to work, tell the Government what you think about Access to Work, flexible, hybrid, and remote jobs: https://t.co/tgtcAdSdIK

[Campaign for Disability Justice @CampaignFDJ]

Everyone needs security, and Disabled people are telling the Government that PIP gives us that.

🚨DR UK's Statement on the EHRC's New Code of Practice

"We are appalled at implications that an adequate workaround is trans people using Disabled toilets instead. We will not be used as a loophole in the wider erosion of trans rights."

[Inclusion London @InclusionLondon]

'Nothing about us without us' is not just a slogan.

We're calling for Parliament to follow the Equality Act and start including people with learning difficulties when making laws that affect them.

Are you a Disabled person in work, looking for work, or would like to work?

@Chuffin_ell @BBCMorningLive ⬆️This. We absolutely agree.

[Campaign for Disability Justice @CampaignFDJ]

It would be great to see Disabled spokespeople in the media, talking about our community and what we experience. Any takers?!

@antonyarth2395 Goodness, it's unintelligible!

[Campaign for Disability Justice @CampaignFDJ]

@HathorsDaughter Oh no! Thank you so much for telling us, that shouldn't be happening! We'll look into it, and find out what's gone wrong.
We do use some cookies, but only to find out how many people have dropped in (for our funders), and some that are essential to keep donations secure.

📣 There's still time to influence the future of PIP 📣

@tonibetha Ouch, we're so sorry, that sounds brutal. We've told the Government what needs to change around PIP, and we'll be watching their next moves closely!

[Campaign for Disability Justice @CampaignFDJ]

The work capability assessment is the key to a vital safety net for Disabled people, and it’s deeply flawed. Share this post and read our blog post https://t.co/jZ7KFeVwVh

Access to Work should level the playing field, providing the accessibility tools Disabled people need to work. It's not working the way it should, and neither is flexible work. @hoccommitteesuk is asking what needs to change.

We talked to @johnpringdns at the Disability News Service, about why Access to Work needs to improve, to give every Disabled person who would like to work the freedom to.
