Disability Rights UK (DRUK) have announced details of their Disability Rights Manifesto for Brexit. The announcement follows a roundtable held in March 2017, attended by over 40 delegates from a range of disability organisations, including Centres for Independent Living, charities, trade Unions and individual disabled people.
The Manifesto is the result of analysis of the issues surrounding Brexit and it’s effect on disabled people, which was commissioned by DRUK to be carried out by Professor Anne Lawson, Director of the Centre for Disability Studies, University of Leeds. In addition, DRUK have participated in several other events focused on debates surrounding Brexit, held by; the European Network for Independent Living, Thomas Paine Initiative, Equality and Diversity Forum, Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust and Cloisters Law Firm.
The Disability Rights UK Research and Manifesto on Brexit can be viewed on the DRUK website and feedback is encouraged. Let us know what you think of the manifesto in the comments below.
