@MikScarlet @disabilityarts The podcast is definitely worth a listen as it’s so much more than this quote and explicitly talks about building on the social model.

📢 We've compiled a page of information on issues affecting Access to Work customers and new applicants, and details on how we can help.

There are also actions you can take to fight the proposed changes to Access to Work.

Access to Work is vital to a barrier-free workplace. Planned changes will destroy disabled peoples chances of getting/staying in work. It will roll back progress we've made in the culture sector to increase representation. Please sign this open letter. https://t.co/mbHP3fkEBz

Head over to Instagram for an incredibly articulate request from Tom Ryalls about signing the open letter we’ve collaborated on regarding Access to Work. Please sign the letter here:

To everyone losing their shit about #Motability, it's a car leasing scheme. No one gets a free car. We borrow it, with a weekly payment of £75 with a nonrefundable deposit which can be £1000s.
The cars go back to Motability after 3 years & they sell them 2nd hand.

Investigate how the #AccessToWork scheme is operating. This review should ensure the scheme offers fair and timely support for all disabled people seeking employment. #CutsHaveConsequences

I’m quoted in this re workforce! Been looking into the data more since. Interesting stats on DYCP & NLPG grants for individuals - disabled artists doing much better on DYCP than project grants. Drill down into the power BI and you see how tough it really is to get funded.

Cautious welcome for Arts Council England report that shows striking increase in disabled leaders

@nedboulting Oh definitely! Then 2026 who knows what happens. Eurosport/discovery/whoever certainly just lost me as a subscriber for the rest of the races. Might just listen to NSF and give up on actually watching cycling. Thinking I might just ride my bike instead! V. sad about loss of ITV

[Trish Wheatley @twheaterer]

Can you ask if Access to Work is going to get fixed so that disabled people can actually get/retain jobs? #R4Today

@MartinSLewis More to the point should a mature student applying for loan have to declare co-habiting partner’s income? Ridiculous!

@RachelCDailey Just tagging @disabilityarts into this as we are also researching the best options for our disabled writers and bloggers to have a platform for discussion that’s not in the public comments forum.
