Disability & mobility care at home
Supporting people within the communities of Clacton, St Osyth and the Tendring Area
We should not, and must not, allow a disability to become a barrier to living life.
In the UK there are over 11 million people living with a disability. These disabilities vary greatly in their presentation. The Equality Act says that a person can be regarded as living with a disability if:
- They have a physical or mental impairment.
- The impairment has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.
- It is a fact that the older we become, the more likely we are to suffer the effects of disability. Approximately 16% of working-age adults live with a disability but this increases dramatically to 45% of those past state pension age.There is anethical responsibility, on us all, to ensure that those of us with disabilities are recognised as having an inherent dignity and a desire for independence.Disability should not be a barrier to a life lived well, nor to equality.
