20th Anniversary: The Story of the Disability Discrimination Act

09 November 2015 by Volunteer Placement

This month marks the 20th anniversary of the enactment of the Disability Discrimination Act in the UK, and BBC Radio’s Ouch disability podcast gives us an interesting discussion on the topic, including a look back at the disability rights movement in the early 90’s. The podcast also features Justin Tomlinson, who gives one of his first in depth interviews since he was appointed Minister for Disabled People back in May.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Very good presentation, brave of the speakers to tell their stories and had a very high impact - feedback from Mate/Hate Crime presentation and video session at Safeguarding Working Together Conference

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.
