ALT Exclusive What press reports say about disabled people. An icon of a megaphone.
ALT Disability Rights UK’s Statement on the EHRC’s New Code of Practice As the makers of the original RADAR key and custodian of the National Key Scheme, Disability Rights UK issues our unequivocal solidarity with trans people, who should not be forced to choose between risking harassment in public facilities – or not using them at all. Image of Disability Rights UK logo in a purple box.
ALT We are appalled at implications from the Code that an adequate workaround is trans people using Disabled toilets instead. It is a vain attempt to get two marginalised groups to blame one another for our lack of facilities, when the blame lies firmly at the feet of policymakers. We will not fall for it. We will not be used as a ‘loophole’ in the wider erosion of trans rights. Image of Disability Rights UK logo in a purple box.
ALT Our RADAR key scheme began in 1981, rooted in the understanding that accessible facilities can be the difference between living the lives we deserve – socialising, travelling and working – and complete social exclusion. Our community knows how it feels to be scapegoated simply for trying to access the necessities we need to live. Trans rights do not come at the expense of Disabled, nor anyone else’s.

ALT As is clear from this Code of Practice, it sets a dangerous precedent for the erosion of other protected characteristics. If the Equality Act can be up for debate in this arena, who is to say this will not be the case when it comes to disability in the near future? As a result, the Disabled-led movement must make a clear stand against this ruling, not to mention because 52% of trans people are Disabled themselves.

ALT "It has been encouraging witnessing DWP colleagues listening and responding thoughtfully to the input of people with lived experience and other experts. My hope is that they seize this opportunity to move away from business as usual and implement effective, person-centred services, delivered by and for Disabled people, that provide holistic support." - Caroline Collier, CEO Inclusion Barnet and founder, Campaign for Disbaility Justice.
