THREAD: a while ago I wrote my own manifesto for an #InclusiveRecovery for #shielders - here are some ideas. #WeShallNotBeRemoved #EndAbleism
Continue to offer remote/online access to services such as workshops, classes and performances, even when most people are able to physically attend them. #WeShallNotBeRemoved #EndAbleism
Implement ‘shielding hours’ in parks and outdoor spaces, when they are closed to the wider public so shielders can use them more safely with fewer crowds. #WeShallNotBeRemoved #EndAbleism
Implement ‘shielding hours’ in larger shops, pubs and restaurants, with a booking system and a reduced number of people allowed in. #WeShallNotBeRemoved #EndAbleism #InclusiveRecovery
Legislate to ensure that the requirement to work from home cannot be used against candidates for office-based jobs, and that appropriate equipment must be provided by the employer. #WeShallNotBeRemoved
Include shielders in community projects via online participation AND imaginative ‘travelling’ projects, e.g. using snail mail to create shared work with contributions from both shielders and non-shielders. #EndAbleism
