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.

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.

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.
