"Involve disabled people in service development"
There’s nothing Anne wants more than a fair future for all disabled people, and she believes talking can make it happen.
Something that would make a huge difference to disabled people is if they were involved in the development and delivery of services. And we’re happy to.
Anne lives in Nottingham, a place where positive change is happening because disabled people are having a say.
Nottingham City Transport involved disabled people in the design of their new tram system. As a result we have trams that two wheelchair users can travel on at the same time. So disabled friends can travel together. There is an audible announcement of each stop and the handrails are yellow because yellow is the last colour that you can see when losing your sight. We’re not asking for the world. Little adjustments here and there can be life-changing.
While Anne welcomes any improvements that make places easier to get to and access, in Anne’s opinion it’s attitudes that really need to change.
Anne believes Scope has a huge role to play in helping to create a fairer future for all disabled people.
As a wheelchair user, I find people still talk to people around me. I once got to the front of a queue in a shop and the assistant talked to the person stood behind me, who was actually another customer in the queue. The shop, assistant had clearly assumed that, as a disabled person, surely I wouldn’t be allowed out alone.
