Most of what I'm about to post is copied over from a disability newsletter I subscribe to. I wanted to pass it on as it's important the contents get spread as far as possible.
You may have read in the news yesterday that the Equality Commission is going to start an enquiry into disability hate crimes. This post is related to that.

-------
We're asking you to make sure the blame for much of the increase in the harassment of disabled people is placed where it belongs – at the door of the DWP and its ministers, with their constant campaign of vilification against sick and disabled claimants.
The Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has begun an investigation into whether public bodies are fulfilling their legal obligations to prevent disabled people from being harassed. If you think the DWP are failing in this duty – and actually making things much worse - email EHRC and tell them so, your details will not be made public. Email: disabilityharassmentfi@equalityhumanrights.com
And please, let other people know about this enquiry – the more people who contribute the harder it will be for the EHRC to ignore the DWP's role in hate crimes. If you do contact EHRC, please consider posting something on our free blog to encourage others. There's also more information and links on the same blog page at Tables turned - your chance to shop DWP and BBC.
