Talking about your disability in the workplace can be daunting—but it’s also a powerful step toward ensuring you’re treated fairly and given the support you need.

Here’s what every expat needs to know before it’s too late. When we think of home, we think of safety—a place to return to when things go wrong. But for British citizens who move abroad, the safety net of the National Health Service (NHS) may no longer be waiting.
People with complex disabilities deserve to be assessed by professionals with relevant expertise, not generalists working from tick-box criteria.

Child poverty in the UK is a multifaceted issue that requires urgent attention. It affects not only the immediate well-being of children but also their mental health and prospects.

The controversy surrounding the Winter Fuel Payment highlights a broader debate on how the government supports vulnerable populations. Critics argue that selectively providing benefits based on means-testing can lead to perceptions of discrimination and may not effectively address the needs of all at-risk groups.
When a system structurally excludes, misjudges, or punishes people with fluctuating disabilities, it is not just morally unjust — it may also be legally non-compliant. Disabled individuals and advocacy groups have a strong basis to argue that the PIP framework, as currently implemented, fails to meet legal standards of fairness, equality, and dignity.
Harassment refers to repeated, unwanted behavior that causes alarm or distress. This can include threatening messages, abusive phone calls, or unwelcome visits. Stalking goes a step further—it’s a pattern of fixated and obsessive behavior that causes someone to feel fearful or anxious. It can include following someone, monitoring their movements, or contacting them despite being asked to stop.
