3 November: Disabled people in austerity Britain

A free webinar with Stef Benstead the author of the book Second Class Citizens and guests, hosted by Church Action on Poverty.

Event | 30.10.20

Are disabled people second class citizens in modern Britain? 

Despite severe criticisms from the United Nations the UK Government has continued to reject claims that its austerity policies have targeted disabled people and other minority groups.

Join Church Action on Poverty for a stimulating hour with Stef Benstead, independent researcher, Fellow of the Centre for Welfare Reform, disabled activist and author who will be talking about her book Second Class Citizens which explores these competing claims against the background of the development of the welfare state, the campaign for disability rights and the economics of austerity.
