I've been away but keen to pick up where I left off - so what #GoodPractice have you experienced around supporting and empowering #DisabledPeople in the #CharitySector? #CharitySoAbled #NotJustNCVO @CharityDiscrim @CharityStraight @CharitySoWhite
I've been away but keen to pick up where I left off - so what #GoodPractice have you experienced around supporting and empowering #DisabledPeople in the #CharitySector? #CharitySoAbled #NotJustNCVO @CharityDiscrim @CharityStraight @CharitySoWhite
Apologies for my absence, I've had some personal problems and emergencies that I've had to focus on. How about we restart with some positive experiences?! What good practice have you seen in the #CharitySector around supporting #DisabledPeople? #CharitySoAbled #NotJustNCVO
It's time for another question! What can #charities and other organisations do to make the #interview process more #accessible, fair, supportive and #inclusive? Tweet your reply using #CharitySoAbled or quote tweet us! Like, share & retweet #CharitySector #ableism #accessibility
3: "I’m very lucky now that I have found a job that is part-time but also #flexible & home-based. But things have been much worse – I’ve been through warnings & threats to fire me because of the days off I’ve needed to take for my conditions." #CharitySoAbled #CharitySector
2: “In 2015, I applied for #PIP – I got zero points because I walked up two steps when - the only way to get to the room. They didn’t offer any alternatives or ask if it hurt… in 2019 I applied again & was awarded by someone who understood my condition.” #CharitySoAbled
Annon 1: After suffering for years, I was finally diagnosed with #ME & later with fibro. The severity changes daily (sometimes hourly!), but I can usually tell if it’s going to be a good/ bad day. I’ve had a lot of jobs who believed there’s nothing wrong with me.” #CharitySoAbled
Thank you @RosieOldham8 - completely agree! Employment law needs to change to accommodate disabled people! Yes- current employment laws don't follow the social model and need to be updated! HR teams also need to be trained in ableism at the bare min #CharitySoAbled #CharitySector

Completely agree! Flexible home-based positions offer more opportunities for disabled people! Many of us are housebound or have fluctuating conditions which means that flexibility is so important! It opens up the job market! Thank you @MandiMooHine for sharing! #CharitySoAbled

What can charities do to encourage #DisabledPeople to apply to their charity, and how can they make their organisations safe and welcoming for marginalised groups? #CharitySoAbled @CharitySoWhite @CharityStraight #NotJustNCVO #DisabilityTwitter
I'll share my story this week but in the meantime, please DM us your stories (we'll share annon) of #ableism and #Disability #Discrimination, tweet us @CharitySoAbled or tweet using the hashtag #CharitySoAbled #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityTwitter #CharitySector
4. When doing any kind of advocacy involving #DisabledPeople it is important to do so with an intersectional lens. The #DisabledCommunity is not homogenous & is made up of people from all intersections & marginalised communities - @CharitySoWhite @CharityStraight #CharitySoAbled
3. Over 18% of the UK population are disabled which includes #MentalIllness, #ChronicIlness and long-term illnesses. Many disabled people have #InvisibleDisabilities but this does not make them any less disabled #DisabilityPrideMonth #CharitySoAbled #NEISvoid #DisabilityTwitter
2. Use identity-first language. Instead of 'persons with disabilities' use '#DisabledPeople'- most of us prefer this and it is in line with the social model of #disability. It is always good though to ask what each person prefers #CharitySoAbled #disabilityPrideMonth #NEISvoid
Today we are going to be sharing how you can be a better ally this #DisabilityPrideMonth! 1. Always add alt text (short written descrip.) to your images & a separate image description (see below). Alt text allows readers with visual disabilities to access images #CharitySoAbled
Thank you for including us in this tweet @StraightCharity! #DisabilityPrideMonth is a really important time for #DisabledPeople and the #DisabledCommunity is v intersectional. It's a time to celebrate disabled people, fight for our rights & promote our visibility #CharitySoAbled

A4: Other innovative flexible working policies could be found through an away day to understand each other's needs, get to know each other around inclusion & find out what works for each person. Many people don't even realise they could benefit from flexible working #CharityHour

A4: As odd as it sounds I think one of the most innovative things you can do is ask what someone needs and be accommodating to those flexible working needs (maybe not if these ask for free ice cream every day;)) New policies could be framed around your team's needs #CharityHour

3: "I’m very lucky now that I have found a job that is part-time but also #flexible & home-based. But things have been much worse – I’ve been through warnings & threats to fire me because of the days off I’ve needed to take for my conditions." #CharitySoAbled #CharitySector
2: “In 2015, I applied for #PIP – I got zero points because I walked up two steps when - the only way to get to the room. They didn’t offer any alternatives or ask if it hurt… in 2019 I applied again & was awarded by someone who understood my condition.” #CharitySoAbled
Annon 1: After suffering for years, I was finally diagnosed with #ME & later with fibro. The severity changes daily (sometimes hourly!), but I can usually tell if it’s going to be a good/ bad day. I’ve had a lot of jobs who believed there’s nothing wrong with me.” #CharitySoAbled
Thank you @RosieOldham8 - completely agree! Employment law needs to change to accommodate disabled people! Yes- current employment laws don't follow the social model and need to be updated! HR teams also need to be trained in ableism at the bare min #CharitySoAbled #CharitySector
@CharitySoAbled @CharitySoWhite @StraightCharity @CharityDiscrim Hello! Something I have encountered time and again is that employment law simply isn't designed to support disabled employees sufficiently, in my opinion. Its so frustrating and systemic that I've found it makes it difficult to change 1/n
Completely agree! Flexible home-based positions offer more opportunities for disabled people! Many of us are housebound or have fluctuating conditions which means that flexibility is so important! It opens up the job market! Thank you @MandiMooHine for sharing! #CharitySoAbled
Personally - advertising flexible, home based positions (that really are home based!), sending interview questions in advance, having a flexible sickness policy/work day - some days I'm feeling like s**t but don't need a sick day, just a flexible approach.

What can charities do to encourage #DisabledPeople to apply to their charity, and how can they make their organisations safe and welcoming for marginalised groups? #CharitySoAbled @CharitySoWhite @CharityStraight #NotJustNCVO #DisabilityTwitter

I'll share my story this week but in the meantime, please DM us your stories (we'll share annon) of #ableism and #Disability #Discrimination, tweet us @CharitySoAbled or tweet using the hashtag #CharitySoAbled #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityTwitter #CharitySector
4. When doing any kind of advocacy involving #DisabledPeople it is important to do so with an intersectional lens. The #DisabledCommunity is not homogenous & is made up of people from all intersections & marginalised communities - @CharitySoWhite @CharityStraight #CharitySoAbled
3. Over 18% of the UK population are disabled which includes #MentalIllness, #ChronicIlness and long-term illnesses. Many disabled people have #InvisibleDisabilities but this does not make them any less disabled #DisabilityPrideMonth #CharitySoAbled #NEISvoid #DisabilityTwitter
2. Use identity-first language. Instead of 'persons with disabilities' use '#DisabledPeople'- most of us prefer this and it is in line with the social model of #disability. It is always good though to ask what each person prefers #CharitySoAbled #disabilityPrideMonth #NEISvoid
Today we are going to be sharing how you can be a better ally this #DisabilityPrideMonth! 1. Always add alt text (short written descrip.) to your images & a separate image description (see below). Alt text allows readers with visual disabilities to access images #CharitySoAbled
Thank you for including us in this tweet @StraightCharity! #DisabilityPrideMonth is a really important time for #DisabledPeople and the #DisabledCommunity is v intersectional. It's a time to celebrate disabled people, fight for our rights & promote our visibility #CharitySoAbled
July is #DisabilityPrideMonth time to celebrate those of us who are #LGBTQIA+ and living with a disability. So many people in our community live with a disability, many of them hidden. Think about how you can be a better ally to them this month #CharitySoStraight @CharitySoAbled
What can charities do to reduce disability discrimination and ableism in the #CharitySector? Do you have any examples of good practices to share below? #disabilityTwitter #ableism #NEISvoid #DisabledPeople #CharitySoAbled #disability #disabilityInclusion
A4: Other innovative flexible working policies could be found through an away day to understand each other's needs, get to know each other around inclusion & find out what works for each person. Many people don't even realise they could benefit from flexible working #CharityHour
#CharityHour Q4 via @EA_CEI: We are a tiny charity but the flip side of that is that we can be super agile (and super ambitious)! What innovative flexible working policies should we introduce and why? Reply or quote tweet with A4 #CharityHour
A4: As odd as it sounds I think one of the most innovative things you can do is ask what someone needs and be accommodating to those flexible working needs (maybe not if these ask for free ice cream every day;)) New policies could be framed around your team's needs #CharityHour
