Journey to the Inclusi-verse with LinkedIn's No.1 Inclusiv-fluencer 🌌 9/10 Clients & Customers Prefer Inclusive Brands & Businesses! Me? Award Winning CEO🏆 Disabled, Neurodivergent & Surviving Cancer 🎀 (Cat Mad 😻)
Attention all disabled Linkers, and their friends, neighbours, family, work colleagues..... Urgent call out!! *Needed by Monday* Please help make accessing employment, transport, healthcare, recreational facilities and many more places less of a barrier for disabled people! Access isn't just a ramp....and actually, did you know that despite the global symbol for disability being someone in a wheelchair, just 8% of disabled people are wheelchair users! Why do people need to see where they're going ahead of visiting somewhere new? Here's some reasons I can think of: Neurodivergent folk like me, can feel extremely anxious when planning a new journey. Those of us with spinal disabilities, need to know if there's enough suitable and supportive seats, at regular intervals for us to rest. Will all the seats be standard conference seats at an event, if so I need to see those chairs, because they may hurt me and cause me more disabilities (pain exacerbates my conditions). All of the above anxiety & potential injury, can be alleviated or avoided if I could see the venue, ahead of me planning to go! It is a game changer! Now, I've already filled this questionnaire out for Ocean3D.co.uk but Chris Wood needs your help....as the more people who have their say, the more chances of Chris getting GOV.UK to successfully implement this so it benefits all of us! #Disability #AccessibilityMatters #HelpNeeded Tagging in some people who might be able to help: Jamie Shields Celia Chartres-Aris (née Hensman) Sandra Bentley Isaac Harvey MBE Gavin Neate Colin B. Jodie 💜 Greer Emma Shepherd Please complete the survey ASAP! See OP 👀 ⬇️
The clock is ticking and, frankly, we need your opinions ASAP! We're meeting The Minister for The Disabled on Monday with the sincere hope we can improve accessibility for the millions of people who need to journey, destination plan and familiarise themselves with the layout and facilities of a location before they physically visit. We're confident that our legal opinion* from the wonderful Louise Mankau of Doughty Street Chambers will help us win the day BUT, we need more hard evidence that it's not just a legal right but, there's a real need too. It will only take a minute of your work break but, please 🙏 complete our short survey if you ever have the need to journey or destination plan to reduce real anxiety or, care for someone who does. Feel free to share the link to family, colleagues and friends too.

I’ve shared my thoughts and only took me a couple of minutes. So much value in this! Virtual tours are captured in our maturity model too.
