UK Disability History Month 

UK Disability History Month (UKDHM) is an annual event creating a platform to focus on the history of disabled people’s struggle for equality and human rights now and in the past.

This year, the theme is Disability, Livelihood and Employment and the focus is on raising awareness of the factors that impact the employment of disabled people both historically and today. The focus is also on everyone working together to ensure that disabled people do not experience social exclusion or stigmatisation and instead feel accepted and included which includes participation in the world of employment.  

UK Disability History Month provides an opportunity for all to consider how we can all make society more inclusive for disabled people.

Events to mark UK Disability History Month will be held around the UK and further information can be obtained from:
