Covid-19 has impacted everyone’s lives, but for people with complex disabilities and their families, this has been an especially difficult time.
Throughout the pandemic, we’ve been campaigning to address inequalities revealed by the crisis, and raise awareness of the challenges disabled people and their families have been facing. As well as campaigning for funding and resources for disabled people, we’ve also been focusing on shorter term issues such as ensuring government is producing accessible information.
A key part of our work has focused on Government guidance and legislation; ensuring that it considers and meets the needs of the people who we support. This has also been important to us a service provider.
As lockdown eases, and we shift towards the ‘new normal’, it’s important that the Government agenda doesn’t forget disabled people and their needs. We will be continuing to work on this and ensure that disabled people aren’t forgotten.
