Survey exploring barriers to healthcare for disabled people

Breakthrough UK has a project called Foundations for Change: Co-Produced Disability Inclusion Frameworks.

They currently need as many disabled people and people with long-term health conditions as possible to respond to their survey.

The aim of this research is to identify barriers disabled patients and patients with long term health conditions and the people who support them are facing within healthcare systems and create a framework as a guide for providers which will help address those barriers.

Voices of Resilience

Disability and Development Partners (DDP) has been working with partners in least developed countries for over 30 years, facilitating positive change for marginalized communities. The Voices of Resilience project, developed in response to a 2023 survey by Rainbow Disability Nepal (RDN), addresses the struggles faced by queer disabled people in Kathmandu. The survey revealed that these individuals face challenges in establishing a recognised social identity, compounded by stigma and discrimination that limits their social, emotional, and economic opportunities.

Caritas Salford: Think Differently About Disability

Run by Caritas Salford's accessibility coordinator, Minna, this session will encourage participants to take a moment to consider:

  • Do you understand what disability is?
  • How confident are you talking about disability?
  • Do you think you operate in a way that is accessible to all people?
  • Do you understand your responsibilities towards accessibility?

What will be in the session:

The Church of Our Lady and the Lancashire Martyrs, Hallstead Avenue, Little Hulton, M38 0DL
