International Day of People with Disabilities roundtable 6th December 2022 4.00pm-5.00pm

Dear all,
I hope you are well.

December 2022 marks International Day of People with Disabilities
(IDPWD). IDPWD is a time for celebration, learning and action. It is a time
to recognise and value the diversity of disabled people worldwide.
While
disability is our day-to-day work at Scope, the Day is important across the world
to help people understand the importance of disability inclusion and
accessibility.
International Day of People with Disabilities roundtable
On 6
December 2022, from 4pm to 5pm, please join our next roundtable to mark
International Day of People with Disabilities.
Join
the roundtable on 6th December 2022 4pm to 5pm.
About the roundtable
The
roundtable will focus on the experiences of people with less visible
disabilities. Some impairments, conditions and access needs are not as visible
as others. People with less visible impairments, conditions and access needs
often experience unique negative attitudes and lack of understanding.
You may remember Scope’s campaign with ITV last
year that focused on invisible disabilities.
The
roundtable will cover:
- the importance of International Day of People with Disabilities
- experiences of people with less visible disabilities
- inclusion and accessibility for colleagues, volunteers and customers with less visible disabilities
- language around the binary of visible and invisible disability
- question
and answer session
Speakers
- Pippa Stacey, disabled writer, speaker and communication consultant. Pippa talks about life with chronic illness, ‘everyday ableism’, and accessible employment.
- Scope colleagues who have lived experience of less visible conditions, impairments and access needs.
- Ruth
Blazye, Scope’s Executive Director of
Retail and Communities, will chair the event.
