♿️ Disability News In & Out 2025: Accessibility, Beyond Slacktivism to True Representation

My disability news In's and Outs for 2025. Let me know what you want to see left behind in 2024.
In this video, I dive into the ins and outs of disability life in 2025-from accessible air travel to inclusive workplaces, and the push for better disability representation across industries.
Whether you're a disability advocate, ally, or simply curious about what’s next for accessibility and inclusion, this video breaks it all down. Let’s work together to create a world where accessibility and representation are the norm-not the exception.
What do you want to see more of this year? And what do you want to see changed. If you would like to hear more about these topics, head to my UA-cam channel now to watch the full video.
Out’s
Unpredictable public transport: Too any times we saw too many disabled people being left on trains, crawling to bathrooms on planes, and having their wheelchairs lots and damaged on flights.
Claiming to be accessible, but it’s not: We need clear information on websites, and disabled people need to be consulted in disability accessibility.
Slacktivism: Go the full way, and see it thought. Last year we saw Primark launch their adaptive lingerie range. Fantastic! Although they fell short when only a handful of stores stocked the items, and made it almost impossible for disabled people to purchase, with no click and collect options, or ordering online options.
Not paying disabled people: You wouldn’t get an election in to fix your wiring, then offer them a cup of tea and a slice of cake as payment. So why is this ok for disabled people? This happens too often with disabled freelancers. We deserve to be paid our worth.
In’s
Authentic disability representation: Last year we saw some awesome disability representation. Wicked being one movie who really hit the nail on the head. Lets see more of this
More flexible hybrid working: Disabled people want to work, but often hours and access made it impossible. Lets see more options for disabled people.
Affordable adaptive clothing: Adaptive clothing is so expensive. I’d love to see more high street options.
Easier & fairer PIP applications: I think that speaks for itself.
