We heard this rhetoric when @RishiSunak gave his speech about welfare reform & sick-note culture. He said it was a 'moral mission' but the UN committee had a different view describing the reforms as devaluing disabled people & undermining human dignity. #CRDP24 #DefendOurRights
#CRDP24 Dpac members will not be at all surprised to learn that the UK government has failed to take the necessary actions to address the grave and systematic human rights violations towards disabled people You can read the report here tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/15/Tr…
The Committee finds that the State party has failed to take all appropriate measures to address grave and systematic violations of the human rights of persons with disabilities and has failed to eliminate the root causes of inequality and discrimination Please RT #UNCRPD2024

The Committee is concerned that during the assessment period, there has been no significant progress for disabled people throughout the UK concerning their right to living independently and being included in the community. RT #UNCRPD2024

Without a robust holistic approach, disabled people will not be supported to be work ready. The evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates that this process is not trauma informed, not sufficiently linked to other services and support, and not suitable to assist people to be job ready.
