Disability and Austerity – The Challenges of Health, Social and Welfare Reform Conference (Newcastle Racecourse, 1 July 2014) The introduction of sweeping austerity measures through welfare reforms have impacted on almost everybody, but disabled people are amongst those who have been the hardest hit. • Disabled people are losing the financial support they depend on to lead independent lives. • Statutory and third sector services have being cut, leaving disabled people with nowhere to turn as their traditional support services are being restricted. • Disabled people are increasingly worried, depressed and concerned for their future. • Hate Crime is now a frequent occurrence in the lives of many disabled people. Boasting a diverse range of speakers and workshops, the “Disability and Austerity - Challenges of Health, Social and Welfare Reform” conference will consider how the current climate has impacted on disabled people and what can be done to positively address these issues. Delegate places are £115 (plus VAT), to find out more please click in the following link: Disability and Austerity.
