It's UK Disability History Month!

This month (14 November to 20 December) focuses on promoting an understanding of disability issues, and the history of disabled people's struggle for equality and human rights.

This year’s theme is Disability Livelihood and Employment. This encourages us to consider what steps we can all take to ensure that disabled people are not experiencing additional barriers to fully accessing opportunities in the workplace.

Visit UK Disability History Month for more information and details about events and other ways to take part.
