Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) are looking for disabled people to speak to a national newspaper about problems they have had with zero hours contracts. If you think you might be willing to speak to the paper please contact Ellen.clifford@inclusionlondon.co.uk.
Even if you don’t want to speak to the paper but have information you are willing to share with DPAC please email.
Your information might, for example, cover:
– not being granted reasonable adjustments
– the impact of zero hours contracts on your impairment or health
– the impact of being disabled on your ability to meet your zero hours contract
– being dismissed
– ill-treatment in the workplace
– financial problems
– being pressured into a zero hours contract by JCP/DWP
Thank you for any help you can give.
Hi Ellen,
I wonder if you could help me. I am a Specialist Occupational Therapist working with people with Multiple Sclerosis and a large area of my workload is supporting people at work to make reasonable adjustments etc. I am due to speak at an MS conference in Sept and an area they want me to cover is impact of zero hours on disabled people. So I was interested in the response you had received from your web page and whether you had any statistics/feedback you could share from your research.
Yours hopefully
