The most common question I get when I meet people or in my training is, “how can I help disabled people” – which is a funny one because there’s an expectation that disabled people need help, which isn’t always the case. I wrote about this previously but this time...

Random title I know! But, here’s a snapshot of my life today. I’m expecting some kind of “fire hazard check” for our building. We’ve been told if we don’t allow access we get charged for them to come back again. It always takes me longer to get to the...
