Change can happen at any time in your life, and we’re here to offer a free Information & Advice service.  Anything from what happens when coming out of hospital, finding funding or a new piece of equipment, right through to travel insurance and more: if you’ve got a disability or care related question, we are here to help. 
There is no such thing as a daft question, so don’t worry about asking us!

Our Disability Discrimination Advisor, Liz is here to advise disabled people who have potential issues of discrimination with regard to their employment or access to goods & services.  Liz uses mediation to try and achieve, wherever possible, a positive outcome for both sides, by providing advice on the rights of the disabled person and the duties of the employer or service provider.
