Yesterday was 'Human Rights Day' The theme to celebrate Human Rights Day 2023 is 'Freedom, Equality and Justice for All.' At Dewis CIL, we recognise choice as a fundamental right and believe disabled people have the freedom to choose and take control of their lives. Dewis is committed to supporting disabled people, regardless of disability and aims to promote diversity and equality across Wales. Our vision is to provide support for disabled people, to help them achieve an independent way of living by: Supplying disabled people and their families with a support scheme to employ personal assistants. Creating greater opportunities for disabled people’s independence. Enabling disabled people and their families to have a voice. Providing support to help people achieve their personal goals and objectives. Recruit, develop and train volunteers, providing greater opportunities for all. Developing Dewis’s services by working with disabled people. Improving people’s quality of life by providing choice. Removing any barriers that limit flexibility, choice, and control. Promoting diversity and equality for all. Supporting disabled people to fight for their rights.

There are over 14 million Disabled people in the UK. We want to see the government make changes to a more inclusive society, where the Disabled community's voice matters and we feel connected and valued. We are asking the next UK Government to make changes based on the Disabled Peoples Manifesto: 1️⃣ Representation and Voice: Nothing about us without us. We demand a voice in decisions that impact us. 2️⃣ Rights: Equal rights for all, ensuring fairness and justice. 3️⃣ Independence: Control over our lives and choices, just like everyone else. 4️⃣ Inclusion: Equal citizenship, where every individual is valued and included in society. Show your support for Disabled people and sign the petition, your voice matters. https://lnkd.in/ebTQH4rs

Such important, powerful and inspirational words from Caroline Casey !!!
International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) is a UN day celebrated annually on 3rd December. The day is about highlighting the rights and well-being of disabled people at every level of society and development and raising awareness in all aspects of the political, social, economic, and cultural life of disabled people. At the Valuable 500, our mission is clear: to eliminate disability exclusion and create a world where everyone is seen, heard, and valued. How do we achieve this necessary goal? Through three synchronised collective actions that form the backbone of our movement. Inclusive Reporting, Leadership and Representation. We will be sharing content from our companies throughout the day. This video was taken from the IDG Summit in Sweden, where our founder, Caroline Casey, gave a powerful talk about the power of collaboration.

How can we become better allies at work? We asked disabled people what non-disabled people could do to be a good ally. If you’re not sure where to start, here are some suggestions. 1. Listen to disabled people. First and foremost, listen to disabled people. Avoid assumptions, and never finish someone else's sentences. 2. Remember that not all impairments and conditions are visible. And some change. You may not be able to see them, but they’re still there. 3. Think about your language. Don’t use ableist words like ‘lame’, and call these out when you hear them. 4: Be more inclusive. Champion accessibility and inclusion. 5. Educate yourself. Read and learn about the advantages you experience as a non-disabled person and how to champion disabled people’s rights. 📹 Video description: Rhiannon, a brunette white woman wearing red glasses, speaks to the camera. She explains tips on how to be a better ally for disabled people.

🙌 We are excited to share the United Nations Human Rights's report: "Good practices of support systems enabling community inclusion of persons with disabilities" (A/HRC/55/34). The report showcases examples of effective practices for gender-responsive and disability-inclusive support and care systems. It identifies key policy areas that enable people with disabilities to live independently in their communities. ℹ You can access the report here: https://lnkd.in/eMNPA9qg

“Manifesto for Inclusion” for the General Election 2024: Ask 2: Disabled people should receive more help with fuel costs and those costs must be reduced. The Problem: ➢ Research by disability charity Scope shows that households containing a disabled person tend to have considerably higher fuel bills. ➢ In 2023 research by Consumer Scotland indicated that over half (52%) of Scots disabled people were unable to adequately heat their homes. ➢ It also showed that over 2 out of 3 (68%) Scots disabled people said that the cost of fuel was having an impact on their physical health ➢ Those on PIP/DLA and ADP received only £150 to meet the costs of fuel bills that had virtually doubled. Our Solutions: • No disabled person’s health should be endangered because they cannot afford to heat their home. • Disabled people on key disability benefits should receive additional help with their fuel costs based on what they actually spend. •The UK Government and Ofgem must force the fuel companies to create a “social tariff” that lowers fuel costs for all disabled people on benefits. • The costs that disabled people incur through running medical and social care equipment at home should be met by the NHS. We’re also inviting you to let us know what other things we should be asking for to help disabled people achieve their human rights and full inclusion in society. Please get in touch with us at [email protected]. You can find the Manifesto, here: https://lnkd.in/esyDeD36
