Disability History Month

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether his Department is taking steps to promote UK Disability History Month.

Answer

Disability History Month will run from November 16th - December 16th in 2023. The Disability Unit is currently developing plans to mark the month.

To mark the month in 2022, we used a range of social media posts to celebrate individuals and their contribution to the advancement of rights for disabled people. We anticipate that we will take a similar approach this year.
