Almost 70% of disabled people have faced discrimination due to access issues.

Disabled people are facing a huge discrimination against their access to public places such as cinema, shops, leisure centre or the local pub and the attitude of staff and other people affect them.

Disabled people feel to be a disadvantage for the society because of the fact that they do not have a lot of accessibility. Many people think that when we talk about disabled people we are directing pointing  wheelchair  people when that is not what we meant by that.

Your disability does not have to be visible there is multiple form of being disabled such as mental health disorder, hearing loss ,dementia and learning difficulties.

We all know that every individual  have a different need than an another but we should try our best to respond to disabled people need. Disabled people should not be treated less because of their disability, we should try our best to make them feel comfortable. They should not be anxious about going out or be afraid that the place that they want to go are not accessible to them or that the staff won’t remind them of their disability.

According to Gov.uk:

People affected by a disability  are  more likely to experience unfair treatment at work, or in publics places than non-disabled people. In 2008, 19% of disabled people experienced unfair treatment at work compared to 13% of non-disabled people.

Around a third of disabled people experience difficulties related to their impairment in accessing public, commercial and leisure goods and services.

Small business and retailers can help to make changes by providing accessible toilets or even turning the music down in shops  , installing hearing loops in public places , business owner should take responsibility to make their shops accessible to everyone this should not be an afterthought.

The Home Office has been criticised for not attempting to contact people who were wrongly deported as part of the Windrush scandal.

Green Party MP Caroline Lucas said to home office minister that no “specific attempt” has been made to contact the 49 people concerned who were deported between March and September 2017 to Ghana and Nigeria.

Caroline Nokes, Home Office Minister, has said that those involved could visit a Government website for information, or call the helpline.

The Windrush scandal arose concerns members of the Commonwealth who were wrongly deported, arrested and denied legal rights by the Home Office after being told they didn’t need documents to live and work in the UK.

The scandal lead to the resignation of Amber Rudd, and an apology from the Prime Minister to Caribbean leaders.

Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott said that the case highlighted how “reckless and incompetent” the government’s immigration policy was.

In Nokes’ response to Lucas’ questions, she said that before any enforced removal, all individuals are told why they are liable for removal and the destination for removal.

Lucas has said that it was the “the moral responsibility of the government” to track down those affected.

Founder of anti-austerity organisation Black Activists Rising Against Cuts and vice president of trade union PCS, Zita Holbourne, called it “a disgrace”.

Satbir Singh, the chief executive of the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants has said that if “the Home Office has the capacity to deny somebody their rights, to separate them from their loved ones and remove them from the country, surely it has the capacity to find them, to apologise and to help them come home”.
