The Impact of Welfare Reforms on Disabled People in the North East

Image of Labour chancellor colourised purple, yellow and blue, overlaid are the photographs of people who died due to benefit cuts.

How do cuts to welfare affect disabled people in the North East, this article looks into it.

Disabled Person looking for employment? Nothing is more broken than the DWPs own find a job system.

A digitally manipulated image features a protest sign with bold, handwritten-style text reading 'NO MORE DEATHS FROM BENEFIT CUTS.' The background is a collage of people engaged in various types of work, including wheelchair users and standing individuals. The image has a glitch-like effect with blue, purple, and green tones.

This looks at the reasons why disabled people can’t get work.

“They Wanted My Experience: Just Not as a Paid Employee”

A digital collage-style artwork featuring people with disabilities in various work and social settings. The image has a glitch-art aesthetic with vibrant colors like pink, yellow, and blue, and horizontal scan lines. Scenes include a person using crutches working at a computer, a wheelchair user engaged in a discussion, a group meeting around a table, and a professional standing and addressing colleagues. The composition emphasizes inclusion and accessibility in professional and social environments

“If the world were truly accessible, what job would you have?”
