I’m speaking out because cutting PIP would be devastating. It’s been my lifeline — helping me live independently and build a comedy career. Without it, I wouldn’t have managed. This is about dignity, not just money. These cuts are dangerous. Stop #TakingThePIP. @TakingThePIP1

The legal rights of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are under threat. We must act now! The continued lessening of support for Disabled people of all ages must be stopped! saveourchildrensrights.org.uk
Please sign. I've been stuck in a complaint loop over the last 3 years regarding health and education. I keep getting apologies, but it is taking so much time and places so much additional stress on life, a complaints commission might just help.

The final preliminary hearing for the Children & Young People’s module was today, CVF, again, made the case for safety. Children's deaths *would* have been higher if many Clinically Vulnerable families had not kept their children away from schools. ⚠️Long thread 1/

That and play equipment companies wrongly advertising products that are not accessible. What an opportunity to put all children's right to play centre to this. Article 31 of @UN #UNCRC is quoted in this manifesto, but article 23 protects the rights of disabled children too.

40 years ago a horrific fire at Bradford City's Valley Parade ground claimed the lives of 56 people. It took less than four minutes for a small fire to become a raging inferno. Warnings had been ignored. When people complain about red tape and health and safety gone mad, remember…
