Accessibility Beyond the Wheelchair

Share This Post

We were absolutely overwhelmed by the response we received to our panel discussion titled ‘Accessibility Beyond the Wheelchair’.

Each of our panel members were amazing. Thank you to you all Haseeb Ahmad, Samia Ali, Adam Bhimani, Karen Williams, Roxanne France-Barton and Adam Crump.

Our panel discussion explored how accessibility is not limited to disability. One may not be recognised as being disabled but has accessibility issues. Accessibility needs to be a separate question and discussion to disability.

We explored stigmas and shames experienced when asking for reasonable adjustments, including what organisers need to think about when trying to ensure their events or buildings are accessible.

A huge thank you to our amazing audience both in person and on Zoom. Thank you for bearing with us during our technical internet issues!

Some real learning points we took away last night included education being key and barriers can come in all shapes and sizes including language, mental health and many more.

Photographs of the session can be found here.

I was delighted to have the opportunity to become the operations manager for the Bushra Ali Group Global CIC. You will find me looking after day-today operations for the CIC, communicating with speakers, panel members and members of the community and organising new events. I am a creative at heart and so I enjoy working on our graphic design and managing our social media accounts.

I am passionate about community work. It is very important to have a safe space to share conversations that would normally happen behind closed doors. By discussing issues that affect us, we realise that we are not alone in our experiences and feelings. By coming together to share, we can bring about positive and long-lasting change. We are providing the safe space for these conversations to happen and for learning to take place.

Our Be the Change Empowering You project is one that is very close to my heart as I have lived experience of domestic abuse. I understand how important help, support and education is to those trying to break the cycles of abuse. Many courses to help you understand and recover from that abuse are available after you are no longer with the abuser. Those courses are indeed life changing and I can testify to that. However, that knowledge would have made such a difference if it had been received earlier and I believe that sharing life skills to empower women to understand abuse behaviours, to see that those behaviours are not ‘normal’, to seek protection much earlier and to know that they are not alone are absolutely critical.

Please know that you are not alone and we are here with you.
