    This is what we did today. I am truly emotional watching it and thankful to the team for doing such a great job and for really caring.

    Spring is in the air and the outdoors is calling! We have places available on our Adventure Ed course for 16-18 year olds who enjoy learning outdoors and want to gain a Level 1 certificate for their efforts. See the poster ⬇️

    taking it to a new extreme. If you can give this any promo at all we would be extremely grateful. And obviously if you fancy joining us we'd make space on a throne for you... thanks so much.

    Every time I see a story like this - and I read many stories like this - it always involves having video evidence. Wanna guess what happens when there isn't? "The boy allegedly filmed a numbed of the incidents via a camera on his wheelchair, police said."

    Hi Liam! When 50% of passenger journeys are made on trains running under Driver Only Operation, what proportion won't have a 2nd member of staff? Where such call at unstaffed stations, how will wheelchair users (including those who didn't pre-book) access them?

    It is absolutely not difficult to get a balance. That is just a lazy excuse. Never have I been somewhere with a changing places toilet and thought "This is massively inconvenient!". Nor a ramp, or a BSL interpreter, or a place without bright flashing lights.

    My able-bodied experience has never been compromised in any way by the presence of accessible facilities. Yet my son's experience as a wheelchair user is always compromised by a lack of them.

    As soon as we arrived he asked where the Mobiloo was and couldn't understand why it wasn't there. 11 years old, but he already knows too much about inequality. 🙁

    We had a great hour at on Monday. Adam was so excited following the quiz trail. If they had a toilet we could have seen penguin feeding too, and we could have stayed all day. We want to make too.

    So many parents of disabled children question whether or not they are "a carer".

    Good to see. I hope that it will include a “Changing Places” toilet (). People with disabilities and their carers seek out places where they can use facilities like everyone else out and about.

    Today is World Autism Awareness Day so I'd like to share a post from me and some more posts from some other bloggers throughout the day.
