Disability History Month panel discussion this week
Monday, 14 December 2020
UK Disability History Month has been run annually since 2010 with the aim to provide a platform to focus on the history of the struggle for equality and human rights for people with disabilities.
Events have been taking place across the month exploring the theme of access, addressing the question of how far we have come and how far we still have to go.
