“To have awards that celebrate disabled people who are doing amazing things, it is crucial. It is even more important that the people without disabilities hear these stories.”

Positive disability representation is definite Faithful behaviour ❤

It’s so important for transforming attitudes, giving viewers a better understanding of the lives, talent, and potential of disabled people.

A traitor from the TV show The Traitors is in front of the roundtable, wearing a green cloak covering their face. A Radio Times headline is over the top, which says: Everything The Traitors gets right about disability and neurodivergence – and what it doesn't.

There’s a long way to go, and The Traitors is by no means perfect.

But this series, we've seen Jessie treated with respect and dignity by the people around her.

And that's something we love to see, for all different conditions and impairments.

Disability Confident is a scheme that encourages companies to employ more disabled people. And it is changing 🧵

The government plans to set time limits for entry‑level status, and give employers more support.

But there are concerns that self‑checks only show progress on paper, not in real life.

Disability Confident has the potential to break down some of the barriers disabled people face getting in and staying in work.

But the current scheme lacks the teeth to drive meaningful change.

Real reform must bring clear goals and real results.

💬"It was nice just to be able to walk to somewhere where all our kids can play together.”

We love this! Children should be able to play together without barriers.

Accessible playgrounds can make a world of difference to children like Rupert 💜

Disabled people are being let down by our benefits system.

Life costs more if you're disabled. Disability benefits are a lifeline meant to help address this.

The government must get its administration right. Because disabled people are paying the price.

📣 Flexible working isn't a luxury.

But new research shows that workers with long-term health conditions are less likely to have access to it.

Even though flexibility can make the difference between staying in a job or being forced out of work entirely.

Flexible working isn’t just an attractive perk. It’s a vital area of support.

And it can help disabled people, carers, and those with fluctuating health to stay and thrive in work.

Flexibility needs to be the norm. Not the exception.

A new year doesn’t magically fix broken systems.

But 2026 is another opportunity to push for change together.

This year, we’ll keep standing up for disabled people’s rights. We'll keep challenging injustice. And keep making sure disabled voices are heard.
