Arguing that disability is a civil rights issue, this study outlines, often using official statistics, the denial to disabled people of full and equal access to the institutions of British society. It contends that only disabled people themselves can bring about a change in this situation.

Combining critical policy analysis with biographical accounts, this book provides a socio-historical account of the changing treatment of disabled people in Britain from the 1940s to the present day.

This guidance is issued under section 3 of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (as amended). It concerns the definition of disability in the Act, and gives examples of matters to be taken into account in determining whether a person is a disabled person. The guidance does not impose any legal obligations in itself, but any adjudicating body which is determining whether a person is a disabled person, must take into account any aspect of this guidance which appears to it to be relevant. The guidance applies to England, Wales and Scotland. It supersedes the 1996 guidance (DfEE, ISBN 0112709559). Other formats to be available are: braille (ISBN 0117036870) and audio CD (ISBN 0117036889)

This approachable study explores experiences of physical and mental impairment in Britain since the Industrial Revolution. Using literary, visual, and oral sources to complement documentary evidence, Anne Borsay pays particular attention to the testimonies of disabled people. Disability and Social Policy in Britain since 1750: - Places disability policies within their historical context - examines citizenship and social exclusion from a historical perspective - Sketches the key characteristics of modern industrial societies - Focuses on the shifting mixed economy of welfare, the development of social rights and the construction of identity - Assesses institutional living in workhouses, hospitals, asylums, and schools - Appraises community living with reference to employment, financial relief and community care - Reviews social policies post-1979 Borsay argues that disabled people were excluded from the full rights of citizenship because they were marginal to the labour market and suggests that history may play a role in raising personal and political consciousness. Containing illustrations, and clearly structured, this book is an ideal guide for all those with an interest in the history of disability and social policies.

The concept of reasonable adjustment (alternatively known as reasonable accommodation) is rapidly gaining significance for countries throughout Europe and beyond. Directive 2000/78 required all EU Member States to ensure that, by the end of 2006 at the latest, reasonable accommodation obligations would operate to protect disabled people from unequal treatment in the context of employment. The new United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities will require ratifying States to impose such obligations in a broad range of situations. This book provides a detailed and critical analysis of the current and potential role of reasonable adjustment duties in British law. It explores the notion of the anticipatory reasonable adjustment duty - a notion which is, in many respects, distinctively British. It probes the relationship between reasonable adjustment and other concepts, including indirect discrimination and positive discrimination. Drawing particularly on US debates, potential sources of resistance to the duties are exposed and an attempt is made to suggest pre-emptive counter strategies. Attention is also given to issues of legal reform and rationalisation - issues of immense topicality and importance in view of the recent British move towards a single Equality Act. In short, this book examines the current and potential role of reasonable adjustment duties in Britain. It will be of interest to lawyers, policy-makers and students working in the field of disability rights. It will also be of interest to all those concerned with the operation and development of equality law and policy more generally, both in Britain and beyond.

The austerity crisis and threat to disability rights. New updated edition includes the impact of COVID on Britain's 14 million disabled people. In austerity Britain, disabled people have been recast as worthless scroungers. From social care to the benefits system, politicians and the media alike have made the case that Britain’s 12 million disabled people are nothing but a drain on the public purse. In Crippled, journalist and campaigner Frances Ryan exposes the disturbing reality, telling the stories of those most affected by this devastating regime. It is at once both a damning indictment of a safety net so compromised it strangles many of those it catches and a passionate demand for an end to austerity, which hits hardest those most in need.
