    ... the Prime Minister congratulates Tom Gordon on running the London Marathon (for Crohn's & Colitis UK) He says every patient should receive high-quality consistent care, govt are making sure best practice is shared, but he's happy for the MP to discuss it with ministers

    In Parliament @tomgordonLD said that the holiday tax is “the wrong policy at the wrong time”. The UK’s hospitality and tourism sector is one of the most taxed sectors and the holiday tax would put us at a further competitive disadvantage. #StopTheHolidayTax

    I was really touched by Noah’s story when his mum reached out. Thank you for letting me share it in the campaign to improve SEND provision and home to school transport. Noah’s isn’t an isolated case, the Public Accounts Committee found 40% of families with young SEND children

    Just a two word change is costing families the best part of a grand per child, per year in bus passes. By only paying for children to go their nearest school, families are receiving a nasty shock when they’re denied bus passes to schools they’re in catchment for. I’m proud to

    The inquiry into inadequate mental health services was hard fought and I’m worried that it’s at risk of becoming an afterthought amidst the new DHSC/NHS restructuring. The idea of promising an inquiry, then having it fizzle out is unacceptable to the families who lost loved ones

    🚨DR UK's Statement on the EHRC's New Code of Practice "We are appalled at implications that an adequate workaround is trans people using Disabled toilets instead. We will not be used as a loophole in the wider erosion of trans rights." Full statement👇 disabilityrightsuk.org/news/disabilit…
    Disability Rights UK’s Statement on the EHRC’s New Code of Practice
As the makers of the original RADAR key and custodian of the National Key Scheme, Disability Rights UK issues our unequivocal solidarity with trans people, who should not be forced to choose between risking harassment in public facilities – or not using them at all.

    We are appalled at implications from the Code that an adequate workaround is trans people using Disabled toilets instead. It is a vain attempt to get two marginalised groups to blame one another for our lack of facilities, when the blame lies firmly at the feet of policymakers. We will not fall for it. We will not be used as a ‘loophole’ in the wider erosion of trans rights.  
Image of Disability Rights UK logo in a purple box.
    Our RADAR key scheme began in 1981, rooted in the understanding that accessible facilities can be the difference between living the lives we deserve – socialising, travelling and working – and complete social exclusion.  

Our community knows how it feels to be scapegoated simply for trying to access the necessities we need to live. Trans rights do not come at the expense of Disabled, nor anyone else’s.

    As is clear from this Code of Practice, it sets a dangerous precedent for the erosion of other protected characteristics. If the Equality Act can be up for debate in this arena, who is to say this will not be the case when it comes to disability in the near future? 

As a result, the Disabled-led movement must make a clear stand against this ruling, not to mention because 52% of trans people are Disabled themselves.
