• Change the disabled logo
    It is mortifying to be judged by people when you use disabled spots if your disability is not visible. There are stories of abusive notes being left on people's cars, which is a huge knock to their self confidence, which is often already low. The change of logo would symbolism a inclusive acknowledgment of all disabilities.

  • Merlin - stop making it impossible for our Autistic children
    Merlin are now essentially discriminating against families with Autistic children by expecting them to provide even more proof of their child's disability and are being ignorant to their disability. Private letters from doctors need to be paid for as well. Lastly, the NHS, doctors and the child mental health teams that work with Autistic children and their families are already massively overworked and under funded. They should not now be having to write private letters to theme parks clarifying information that was part of a long winded diagnosis.

  • Update Musselburgh's Care Homes
    Claire says, "This is important because the people using these facilities are the friends and family of people from our community. With the amount of housing being built this problem can only get worse and it is our parents and grandparents who will be the ones to suffer. "The most vulnerable in our society deserve the best care and facilities that we are able to provide. The care provided by Eskgreen and The Hollies is second to none but they provide that care in spite of the chronic under investment made by our council and government."

  • Disability Blue Badge
    I recently dislocated my ankle. I have to spend up to six weeks with my foot off the floor. Although I am using crutches, it is not always possible to get near to where I want to be. There must be thousands out there in a similar predicament to me, all I ask is that there should be some thought given to those of us who do not want long term something for nothing, but to have ease in our hour of need!

  • More NHS mental health hospitals need opening, not closing.
    When you're at a time where you're mentally distressed, to the point you need to be in hospital, knowing where you are plays a bigger role than you'd think. If you know you're up the road from your house, or a short bus ride away, it gives you peace of mind. You know you're family and friends will be able to visit you, and bring you things you might need. It also means you can have effective home leave before being discharged. Now imagine, you're being sent 100miles away from your home, to a place where you probably don't know anyone. What if no one in your family drives? You become alone and isolated, at a time where being around people who love you matters more than anything; but you're all alone instead. There are kids being sent far away! Some as young as 12. If you're far away, and you are in a unit where you can't use your mobile, how are you meant to stay in contact with friends? What if you're in that hospital for months? Having no familiarity makes you sink even lower. It is essential that more is done to improve the current bed crisis.

  • Keep Work Related Activity Voluntary for ESA Support Group
    The anxiety caused by worrying that benefits will be cut can make a range of conditions worse by increasing stress and anxiety. making work related activities voluntary for people in the support may help them feel more comfortable and encouraged and give them better success in getting off benefits. the added anxiety will prevent people accessing the support the green paper aims to offer. those with mental illnesses will be affected very badly as the additional stress and anxiety could exasperate the problem however encouragement to voluntarily get involved in work related activities could help some people to gain the confidence to get back into work and come off benefits.

  • Toys For Disabilities
    This is an issue which needs to be addressed in order to help the development of children with disabilities. Having recently visited a store with my 7 year old nephew, who has down syndrome, we were shocked to discover that there was not a single section designated to children whose needs differ from normal children. They require sensory toys, often with lights and sounds to aid their development but all that is available in store is similar toys designed for babies and small children not for older children who despite having a disability still need to work on skills such as counting, just through different means.

  • Delayed DBS checks
    These checks are important to anyone who has a job working with the sick, disabled, or children. All care/support workers, nurses, and teachers cannot legally work in the uk without a current DBS check. However the government currently has a back log of over 150.000.00 people (and rising) who cannot start work in much needed services such as the NHS and community support as they are still waiting for their DBS.
