Is The Social Model Fit For Purpose ? Have Your Say

16 December 2015 by Volunteer Placement

The social model of disability has long argued that we are disabled by society’s barriers – of behaviours, attitudes, cultures, structures and environments. To stimulate debate and consider ideas which may work for new generations of activists and for new situations and challenges Disability Rights UK ( DRUK )have published two pieces which discuss both the merits of the social model and the ways it could evolve. The ideas published are not DRUK policy – they are ideas to stimulate debate. They want to hear your thoughts and suggestions about the social model of disability so please comment on the blog.

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

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 :)

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.

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