Radar works for an equal society, where everyone living with disability or health conditions can fully participate
- Around a third of disabled people experience difficulties related to their impairment in accessing public, commercial and leisure goods and services. (ONS Opinions Survey 2009)
- Children with a learning disability are often socially excluded and 8 out of 10 children with a learning disability are bullied. (Mencap)
- Around three in four people believe there is some level of prejudice in Britain towards disabled people. (Office for Disability Issues)
Radar was instrumental in campaigning for the original Disability Discrimination Act and for improvements to it. We led work on the disability aspects of the Equality Act, working closely with Ministers, officials and Parliamentarians.
Radar works with organisations to support you to benefit from talent, and from diverse customers, and to meet legal requirements with Radar Consultancy.
Radar has expertise in human rights. We wrote guidance for disabled people on the UN Convention on Human Rights. We can support organisations to achieve human rights in practice.
We offer products targeting individuals living with disability or health conditions. We offer opportunities to reach this audience through sponsorship of our products and publications or by advertising on our website, in our publications or our NKS Brochure.
Our People of the Year Awards celebrate work that fundamentally changes attitudes to disability. Winners and highly commended entries to our 2010 arts and media awards included Channel 4 for How to Look Good Naked with a Difference, Lizzie Emeh for her outstanding music that challenges views of people with learning disabilities and Bobby Baker, who has changed attitudes to mental health through her diary drawings of the experience of breakdown, day by day.
Disability activists and champions are changing our world for the better. We celebrate great achievements – like Nadeem Badshah, who as a campaigning journalist courageously wrote about controversial issues like forced marriage and disability in Asian media.
The Disability Hate Crime Network won our People of the Year ‘stop hate’ award, for highlighting the menace of hate crime and persuading police and politicians to take it seriously. Find out more about Radar’s Stop Disability Hate Crime project which aims to increase the reporting and recording of disability hate crime.
