Disability Discrimination (Subtitled)

The Village CAB

The Village CAB is located in the city of Salford in the North West of England. The service is managed by a steering group of gay and lesbian volunteers while the day-to-day management is the responsibility of Salford Citizens Advice.

The Village developed from a demand for advice from gay men and lesbians in the North West of England and is delivered by volunteers from those communities.

Salford Citizens Advice

Salford Citizens Advice is independent and provides free, confidential, impartial and non-judgemental advice to everybody regardless of age, religion, race, gender, sexuality or disability. The service is the largest provider of advice in the city of Salford and its core work is delivered by fully-trained volunteers.

The Village CAB in partnership with Salford Citizens Advice were recently successful in securing funding from the Equality and Human Rights Commission. These films form part of that programme of work.

The law on discrimination is very complex and these films are not intended to be a definitive guide on your rights or the law. Instead these films are intended to be an introduction to your rights and a signpost to where you can go to get further advice and guidance. Remember, before taking action it is vital that you get up-to-date information and guidance from your local CAB, Law Centre or the EHRC.

Yes thanks, the point is that even the disability commission discriminates as I was refused disability status in the Uk, I was alone there and nobody helped me to appeal against their decision, I am actually a real disable person in Italy and have dual nationality and had 2 operations when I was little to reconstruct my spine and at my heart, so you can work out where discrimination actually comes from in the gov.

Thank you so much for this video with the subtitles since I saw the other one first. I have actually been discriminated against at work and then from APPD (Association for People with Physical Disabilities) in my city saying they do not believe that my work would discriminate against me because I don't have any visual disabilities but just have been in hospital a lot and on dialysis machine. People do not realize just how often discrimination happens. Thank you so much for speaking about this.
