I have long been familiar with the 2010 Equalites Act which came into effect in April 2011. That was a great leap forward in giving rights and support to a broad spectrum of people with all kinds of disability both physical and mental. Despite the law offering protection the rules are often not adhered to and disabled people continue to experience discrimination in the workplace and in social situations. Since qualifying for a Blue Badge due to mobility issues I have experienced such discrimination at first hand and this has made me more aware of the situation. I want our CLP members to become aware of the problems faced by disabled citizens (including our members) on a daily basis. In order to start achieving this I aim to set up training sessions so that we can all become know more of the discriminations suffered so that we can recognise what is happening and what we can do to help.
