@inclusionlondon.bsky.socialIf the government were serious about supporting young Disabled people into work, they would properly fund the Access to Work scheme, which provides adjustments beyond what's expected of employers. Instead they're cutting Access to Work packages, forcing young Disabled people out of their jobs. (4/4)
@inclusionlondon.bsky.socialInstead, we want to see structural changes in the employment market, including an increase in good quality flexible jobs and the enforcement of employers’ existing legal duty to make reasonable adjustments. (3/4)
@inclusionlondon.bsky.socialThe proposals we’ve heard from the government so far are all about pushing young Disabled people into a work environment that even Milburn acknowledges is challenging and inaccessible. (2/4)
@inclusionlondon.bsky.socialThere is no such thing as "too young to be Disabled."
Cuts to the Universal Credit health element for under 25s would only push young Disabled people who can't work further into poverty. (1/4) buff.ly/ctxOu6d

@inclusionlondon.bsky.socialWe are shocked and disappointed that the vision of a National Care Service does not include disabled people of working age, who make up one third of social care users and who are facing much harsher charges compared to older people.

@campaignfdj.bsky.socialReposted by @inclusionlondon.bsky.socialEveryone should be able to access opportunities to build the future they want. If you're a young Disabled Londoner, or a parent or guardian, share your experiences of work and employment to help make sure Disabled voices are heard.
@inclusionlondon.bsky.socialTrigger warning: The survey asks some questions that might be emotionally difficult, including asking you to tell us about the impact of not having enough money to live on. There is no obligation to complete the survey. You can stop completing the form at any time if it is too difficult for you.
@inclusionlondon.bsky.socialWe want to understand the impact that the the government's cuts to Universal Credit Health Element have had on Disabled people. Gathering this evidence will help to support our ongoing campaigning work.
You can help by completing our survey, available in BSL & Easy Read: buff.ly/ZuIHGbP
@inclusionlondon.bsky.socialThe GLA are investigating youth unemployment and we want to make sure the experiences of young Disabled Londoners are included.

Deadline: 11th October.
@inclusionlondon.bsky.socialWe cautiously welcome investment in jobs for young Disabled people, but: -Jobs must be accessible, appropriate + unforced -Government must stop cuts to Access to Work, stop disability + age discrimination and reduce workplace barriers so we can find, keep and progress in our jobs
