In response to Liz Kendall’s article, highlighting the blame culture, led by the previous work and pension secretaries, it’s notable she is still using the term “economically inactive” which is both degrading and problematic.
The call to action is to gather information and present it to government to highlight the need for better support for disabled people both working and those who would like to.
To anyone looking from the outside in, we are just lazy and don’t want to help ourselves.
Therefore, I would like to collaborate with disabled people to create a CV, not a full CV just an honest paragraph of how your illness affects you and the adjustments that would need to be put in place for you to enter the workplace.
If you are currently utilising Access to Work or are waiting for Access to work, what adjustments has your employer been prepared to put in place for you.
Consider how your illness affects you, how you do, or would manage appointments or sick leave. Is there a disciplinary process this falls under.
I also encourage you to provide feedback on the support you currently experience from employers and colleagues.
You must be brutally honest as there are so many things they won’t have dreamt of, that are stopping us.

Any details you provide will be anonymous and shared on www.acccessiblerach.co.uk and my various social media channels incl YouTube and my Podcast.
I hope that this collaboration will lead to meaningful change and better support for disabled people to either enter the workplace or stay in the workplace.
Thank in anticipation and I look forward to receiving your responses email:
