“Thousands of disabled people are still not being treated as equal citizens.”
Is your workplace ‘mobility friendly’?
The UK’s equality watchdog has revealed that people with disabilities are being treated like second class citizens. The Equality and Human Rights Commission has called for stronger legislation and more focus on improving disabled access. It follows a House of Lords report in March which said disabled people were an “afterthought”. The government said it was supporting people with disabilities into work and improving access. The commission has called for a “new national focus on disability rights”, and for the Equality Act to be strengthened to improve access for disabled people. Businesses also had a large part to play in improving accessibility.
The government said it was “determined to ensure disabled people live free from discrimination”, and was investing more than £115m to support disabled people into work and improve accessibility to public services.
