Great piece by @usabilitydoc: "Designing for extraordinary users benefits ordinary users in extraordinary circumstances". "We owe it to everyone to support each other because one day, it could be us who need assistance — we are all interdependent!" 👌

We were one of the 125 Scottish organisations that signed the statement to the UK Government saying No to the #RightsRemovalBill The protection of these rights lies at the heart of our values & what we do. Communication & freedom of expression is a basic human right @AlynSmith

@SCLDNews @CapabilityScot How super exiting is this... A much needed resource here in scotland. Well done @CapabilityScot

Any team meeting, virtual or face to face, should always start with a team check-in, that is a core part of the agenda. Check-ins provide a massive psychological boost to our teams: https://t.co/HogBV9tRHt Thank you @aimyourteam @dbarrath

Lessons need to learned. The UK social care system has been broken for sometime. Life before #COVID19 was not ok for disabled people. The role of the third sector needs to be recognised and supported to make life better for disabled people. #CPScotConf
