The UK Government has published its Disability White Paper.
They've announced reforms to the benefits system, and one is to scrap the work capability assessment.
We know this might be worrying, but please remember that the changes won't come into effect immediately (1/5)

So proud of our @DorsetCouncilUK Disability Employee Network and our “It’s Ok” video. We hope it will educate, raise awareness and inspire change for the better, so we can have a world where disabled people feel safe and proud being themselves. youtu.be/qfVK8fsTkzw

Today is #PurpleLightUp and International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Our Chief Executive, Matt Prosser shares his reflections on 2022 and where we are headed.
How is this a year ago! Fully into #UKDHM 2022 now and really highlighting the voices of disabled colleagues. Love my job! @DorsetCouncilUK @PeteBartlett5
Last year Dorset Council participated in #PurpleLightUp and with our neighbours and partners, lit up local landmarks purple to show our solidarity with disabled people in Dorset.

It was incredible to see so many people turn out on Sunday to protest against the government's decision to exclude transgender people from a ban on conversion therapy.

Incredible ⭐️ 20,000 people have now emailed their MP to #BanConversionTherapy.
LGBTQ+ people have nothing to be ashamed of. There is nothing wrong or broken about who we are.
2 mins of your time can make a lifetime of difference to LGBTQ+ people 💌

A welcome statement from @TheBMA
‘Conversion therapy’ is unethical and damaging, preys on the vulnerable and leads to long lasting harm.
This abhorrent practice must be banned for all LGBT+ people. A ban that excludes trans people is not a ban at all #LGBTHealth 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
The ban on ‘conversion therapy’ must extend to every member of the LGBTQ+ community.

Conversion practices are abuse. They must be banned. In every setting and for everyone subjected to it. We demand a ban which is inclusive of all LGBTQA+ people. Speak up to #BanConversionTherapy, continue emailing your MPs 🚨

We now stand with @stonewalluk and other LGBTQ+ organisations in calling for the governments of Wales and Scotland to keep their word and end conversion therapy in their own jurisdictions.
LGBTQ+ people in the UK deserve better.

Since Boris Johnson has become PM, the gov has conducted two LGBTQ+ public consultations- reform of the Gender Recognition Act and banning conversion therapy. It ignored the responses on both and abandoned promises that Johnson made to the LGBTQ+ community. An utter disgrace.
@DorsetLGBTVoice Here's a really fab guide from @lgbtHERO on inclusive language and why it matters
