A letter from Chris Kirby, TPP Stakeholder & Engagement Lead, Commercial Policy, Cabinet Office

London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham (LHBF) made a commitment to work more closely with Disabled people to become a more inclusive and accessible borough. This led to the establishment of the independent Hammersmith & Fulham Disabled People’s Commission in 2016.

Run by and for Disabled staff, SHINE was set up as a disability staff network creating a safe space for Disabled staff and those with long-term health conditions, all driven by personal experiences. Advocating for the Social Model of Disability, SHINE has been able to create meaningful change across Cumbria County Council, now split into Westmorland and Furness, and Cumberland Council.

Councillor Shirley Proctor drew on her own lived experience, and that of other members and staff, to address an inaccessible built environment, both within Trafford Council and the borough.
