Current campaigns – act now

The Committee want to hear about the impact of the Government measures on people protected under the Equality Act – this includes Disabled people. Closing date 30 April.

Here we summarise the main changes introduced by the Coronavirus Act in the areas of social care and continuing healthcare

We have written a template letter which DDPOs can use to raise key needs, concerns and asks with local authorities.

The provisions in the Bill relating to social care, support for children with Special Educational needs and detentions and treatment under the Mental Health Act were not amended

The bill potentially poses a serious risk and can put the wellbeing of many at real danger.  We ask you to write to your MP immediately.

Inclusion London have written to London Councils requesting urgent measures to protect and support Disabled Londoners during the COVID-19 emergency

ROFA have written to Justin Tomlinson, the Minister for Disabled People raising extremely urgent issues in relation to the COVID-19 emergency

We supported disabled campaigner Esther Leighton in court on 28 January

We have compiled evidence on how benefit sanctions are harmful for Deaf and Disabled people. We are calling on the government to stop sanctions now.

If your DDPO has an advice service, please fill out our survey about the state of social care and independent living across London
