Access All: Disability News and Mental Health

‘My worry is my care will be cut and I will end up in a care home’


Listen Later

Budgets are tight at local authorities across the country and this week, Bristol City Council launched a consultation on what it calls its ‘Fair

and Affordable Care Policy’. Some residents fear the policy, if implemented, could see them relocated to care homes if that’s seen as “best value”
to the wider community.

We speak to Mark Williams, a Bristol resident and part of the Bristol Reclaiming Independent Living group and Mikey Erhardt who is a campaigner from Disability Rights UK.

Strictly Come Dancing is back for 2023 and, for the first time, the opening episode was audio described as it was being broadcast. We take a listen

to it, and Emma looks at the reaction amongst the blind community on social media.

And it’s been five years in the making, but a brand new whodunit has been released in London. Imposter 22 is co-created by learning disabled and autistic actors. We speak to Charlene Salter who has been involved since the beginning.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Emma Tracey presents this week’s show with members of the production team putting in an appearance.

Sound recording and mixing by Dave O’Neill. Produced by Beth Rose, Emma Tracey, Jack Taylor, Drew Hyndman and guest Keiligh Baker.

The editor was Damon Rose. Exec editor Jonathan Aspinwall
