People with OCD don’t “choose” their thoughts or compulsions. Telling someone to “just get over it” is dismissive, harmful, and perpetuates ableist attitudes. If someone has lived with OCD for decades and tried all known interventions, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), medication, counseling, and even alternative therapies such as hypnosis, it is unjust to boil their suffering down to a fad.
Outsourcing can help businesses grow faster, but only if managed carefully. Always choose partners with integrity, avoid shortcuts in SEO, and remember that sustainable growth relies on quality, not quantity.
Labour is facing the prospect of another mass rebellion from its own MPs as concerns mount over proposed reforms to the universal credit system. The focus of unease is on changes to the assessment process for disability benefits, particularly the health element of universal credit (UC).
Contractual law is the backbone of all commercial transactions, setting out the rights and obligations of parties when entering into an agreement. Whether you are a buyer, supplier, service provider, or consumer, contracts provide legal certainty, enforceability, and protection in case of disputes. This guide explores what contractual law is, why small print. It also considers how such issues could be avoided through proper contract clauses and legal foresight.
Invisible disabilities deserve recognition, understanding, and respect. Ableist attitudes rooted in ignorance and dismissiveness create barriers that can be just as disabling as the condition itself. Instead of questioning someone’s reality or minimising their struggles, we should listen, believe, and support. The lived experiences of those with invisible disabilities, like the editor who has battled OCD for decades, remind us that what cannot be seen can still have profound impact. True inclusivity means dismantling ableism and embracing empathy.
The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 has been replaced by the Equality Act 2010, but its spirit lives on. The Equality Act not only carried forward the protections of the DDA but also expanded them, creating a more comprehensive framework for tackling discrimination. For disabled people, this means their rights are now protected under a single, stronger piece of legislation, but ensuring those rights are respected still requires continued advocacy, awareness, and enforcement.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is one of the most important factors in driving traffic, generating leads, and building online visibility. While domain names hold weight in branding and discoverability, relying solely on a domain without SEO is not enough. Misleading information often circulates about SEO and domains, but the truth is clear: without optimisation and consistent effort, even the best domain name will remain invisible, floating aimlessly in cyberspace.
From April 2026, quarterly digital tax updates will become a legal requirement for many self-employed people. While MTD is intended to streamline the tax system, it also poses new hurdles for disabled entrepreneurs on Universal Credit, who already face disproportionate pressures in managing both business and health. The key is to prepare early, explore HMRC’s webinars and guidance, and seek out accessible accounting solutions.
Creating a will and a power of attorney is not about expecting the worst; it is about being prepared, responsible, and considerate of your loved ones. These documents ensure that your wishes are respected, your dependants are protected, and your assets are managed in the way you intend.
At DisabledEntrepreneur.uk, we support the ACDP approach because it is designed by disabled people, for disabled people, and recognises the full reality of daily barriers. We reject any system that forces claimants to “prove” their disability-related costs with receipts or spending controls, as this strips people of dignity and human rights. Disabled people know best how to manage their own lives and finances; what they need is trust, fair support, and recognition of the extra costs they face, not surveillance.
