It's a slap in the face for the disabled...

-

 



...when councils share and promote diversity and disability inclusion and awards when they themselves are abandoning and discriminating against disabled people.



These deserve the award and have done amazingly but the way the council shares this news seems like they want to 'appear' like they care and support disabled people when in reality they don't.


I responded:

So why have they forgotten about the neurospicy and disabled individuals using the do it online form for Durham County Council?


There needs to be a check box for the council to call people back if they're on the assistance list. 


It's not hard to attach a check box that would automatically add a call back to the most vulnerable customers of bulky waste.


I'm currently being discriminated against and can't do anything about it, if I get a fine I'm going to the news about the council taking my money and abandoning me with bulky waste cause I'm mobility impaired and can't move it a few inches outside my gate like abled bodied people can.


The assist list gives the council consent to enter the gardens of disabled and vulnerable customers so why can't the bulky waste section also support such customers instead of taking their money and running.


No rebooking. Nothing.


I'm currently waiting to hear back from the ombudsman and as much as I'm proud to see people fight for disabilities in my local area the council promoting the success of these individuals is a joke and a slap in the face when they don't support disabled people like they should themselves.


"It seems like a facade of support when they're treating disabled customers and neurospicy customers abysmally."

Some people have more than one disability and its about time the council rethought accessibility with their website!


#actionforpositivechange


We just want access to the same things as other people and just want our money to be paid for services that are completed and not taken and left abandoned with no help or support.

The world does NOT have to be like this!

More can be done!

I'm done with Bishop Auckland college:

I got a very unprofessional email (linkedin message) today after promoting the college and resharing several courses I shared this: A colleague had been informed that due to numbers the policing course can't go ahead. (My formal complaint via email is at the bottom of this blog post) So I simply shared a list of their nutritional courses (also helpful) and added if anyone was interested in the level three policing course to enroll asap (based on the information provided we didn't want to lose the course) I received this: I still haven't heard anything official from the college yet and I'm not happy with being told I'm not allowed to share courses to enrol. But to be honest the accusations of misinformation irk me to my core especially without any official correction or context. So I've blocked Adam on LinkedIn and I'm done with Bishop Auckland College now. I am removing myself SO FAST from everyone and everywhere that chooses disrespect over thoughtfulness. ...

Ramside Hall and Northern Housing Consortium:

I am excited to say that the event at Ramside Hall went spectacularly well, I attended with my best friend Corin and we had such a lovely time. I gave a wonderful speech as to how Northern Housing Consortium has helped me spectacularly with a bursary for my start up business www.magnoliaphotography.co.uk and I happily share the quoted speech I gave below:  " As a start-up business, I initially struggled to  meet the demands of contractual work. Creating art by finger painting on my phone screen was time-consuming, imprecise, and physically challenging. This made it difficult to meet my clients' expectations for detail and speed. Living with chronic pain and disabilities only added to these difficulties. When I learned through Livin Futures that Northern Housing Consortium was offering a start-up bursary, I immediately applied for a drawing tablet, hoping it could change the way I work. Receiving the bursary has been truly transformative. With my new drawing tablet, I can now ...

Cheers 😔 see: https://pgpandspd.blogspot.com/2024/06/hacked-stickers-betrayal-and-pride.html I got off the phone to Paul Howarth yesterday, whilst I'm with my son in public in a cafe, the ADM meet didn't go ahead, but we stayed anyway and my son encouraged me to merely enquire about the article and why my image was not printed, Paul stated it was a space issue but I explained he'd spliced images before and how much would it cost to get the photo in the paper so I can feel positively represented by my home town as a Newtonian since his only reason was the article was FREE, anyway he got rude and abruptly stated he does a LOT for ADM and it's ALL FREE and that he feels I'm being REALLY UNFAIR and hung u...
