This evening we're hosting our Legal Network on the Creative Use of the Equality Act with Nick Webster, solicitor at Leigh Day and Robyn Taylor, solicitor at Deighton Pearce Glynn.
If if you couldn't make it to the event, please see our Twitter account for more details - @InclusionLondon - and please tune into our Twitter livestream https://twitter.com/inclusionlo…/status /1128710103711014912…
After our last Legal Network livestream, we listened to viewers at home who asked we focus the livestream on the BSL interpreters rather than the PowerPoint. We hope this is ok.

A cross-party group of MPs believe that social media companies and the Government have failed Disabled users and must act urgently. The Petitions Committee have launched a consultation on their draft recommendations for action. Fill out their survey to make sure Disabled people's views are heard.

Ask your MP to attend this important debate on Thursday. MPs will debate implementing the UN's recommendations to uphold the human rights of Disabled people in the UK - we need MPs to attend to show how important this issue is.

Vigil at the Royal Courts of Justice! Join us as a groundbreaking case goes to appeal, this Thursday at 9.15 am.

Vigil at the Royal Courts of Justice! Join us as a groundbreaking case goes to appeal, this Thursday at 9.15 am.
Join us for an “Independent Living Care Act” vigil outside the Royal Courts of Justice, Strand, London WC2A 2LL on Thursday the 17th of August at 9.15 am.
On the 17th of August the Court of Appeal will hear the case of Davey v Oxfordshire County Council. This is the first case under the Care Act to reach the Court of Appeal and it is vital because it will determi...ne how far the flagship Care Act goes in promoting Disabled people's wellbeing, choice and control and independent living.
The case was brought by Luke Davey, a Disabled person with high support needs, whose support package has been slashed after the closure of the Independent Living Fund.
Inclusion London intervened in this case and the court will consider our arguments. This is the first time a user-led Deaf and Disabled People's Organisation (DDPO) has intervened in court proceedings before the Court of Appeal.
We want to make sure the judges understand how important this case is for many Disabled people. We invite as many of you as possible to show solidarity and support us by attending the vigil and the court of appeal hearing.
