Deaf BSL users are invited to take part in a workshop on the future of social security on
Thursday 1st October
2 – 3.30pm
via Zoom
The workshop is being hosted by the Experts by Experience Commission on Social Security, a user led project that is funded by Trust for London. All members of the Commission are people with their own personal experience of receiving welfare benefits.
Last year we put out a Call for Solutions and received over 900 online responses and around 100 feedback forms. Working with researchers from Warwick University and the London School of Economics we analysed the responses and put together our first ideas on what a better welfare benefits system could look like.
Now we want to go back out to Deaf and disabled people, benefit claimants and anyone with an interest in social security to get your views on our initial ideas.
This is important to us because at every stage we want to check our thinking is in line with what other people who are most affected by the benefits system think.
