This November marks 30 years since the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) became law. The DDA made it illegal to treat disabled people unfairly at work, school, in shops, and in public services. But full inclusion is still not here. Disability History Month 2025 explores this history under the theme “Disability, Life and Death”. It looks at how society values disabled lives, past harms, and how activism and community work continue to create change. Join events across the North East to celebrate achievements, share stories, and plan for a fairer future.
