Let's keep Disabled people in the picture.

Access needs aren’t optional. Local councils must ensure Deaf and Disabled residents get information in truly accessible formats. Housing should be fair and accessible for all. #Harrow #AccessibleHousing @harrow_council
What would you do if the council told you to ring them to sort out your housing, but you couldn't use the phone?
Asha Nauth from @DEWA_UK explains how the council housing system is shutting out Deaf people.
