Richard Hawkes, CEO of Scope has written a piece for the New Statesmen describing the challenges ahead around disability and welfare reform. We recommend you read it.
Richard has always supported the call for a Cumulative Impact Assessment. He said to us -
“A Cumulative Impact Assessment may be difficult but it is essential. We should not be experimenting with people’s lives. The government needs to look at the bigger picture of the changes made by all its departments and understand the combined impact of these. I hope that Pat and her supporters at Pat’s Petition can have a productive discussion with Liam Byrne to get Labour party support for an assessment.”
