National consultations and campaigns

What happens nationally impacts us locally.

This page highlights national consultations and proposed changes, so that your voice helps turn lived experience into action.

Campaign for Disability Justice

We all want a decent quality of life for ourselves and those we care about.

But over five million Disabled people are trapped in poverty because they’re unable to work or to find an accessible job. And because social security doesn’t even cover the basics.

That’s nearly five times the population of Birmingham struggling to afford enough to eat or to heat their homes adequately.

Inclusion Barnet have set up the Campaign for Disability Justice to change this.

Visit our campaign website!

Justice for Disabled victims of hate crimes, petition from Inclusion London

Disabled people aren’t fully protected by UK hate crime laws.

The law should clearly say: Disabled people are protected from hate crime, and those who target them will face proper punishment.

Make all hate crimes, including those based on disability, sexuality, and gender identity, aggravated offences with tougher sentences.

We especially need protection for Disabled people who are marginalised in other ways, e.g. because of their race or gender, who face even greater injustice.

More information and sign the petition

The Government has announced plans to make huge cuts to disability benefits.

These cuts will push many Disabled people into deeper poverty, worsening physical and mental health, and increasing hardship.
