New Survey Into Impact of Austerity

New Survey Into Impact of Austerity

A new survey about the impact of austerity on disabled people hopes to publish its results before the General Election takes place on December 12th and will be used as the basis for a look into the future of disability rights in Britain and a call for improvements.

The survey has been set up by DCAP and PIRC, the first a campaign group, the second an organisation which ‘works with civil society to develop stories and strategies for a more equal, green and democratic society’.

The subjects it will look at include:

  • The impact of employment and equality rights on disabled workers
  • How the effectiveness of these rights can be increased
  • Possible threats to disabled workers’ rights.

All answers given to the survey will be kept anonymous and the organisers are hoping for a quick response. If you wish to take part you can fill it in here.

If you have any questions about this survey, or would like a copy of the final report, please contact PIRU’s researcher at equalityrightscampaign@outlook.com

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.

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 :)
