The social and human rights models of disability provide important frameworks for campaigners, policymakers and service providers to improve the lives of disabled people as equals.
York Disability Rights Forum (YDRF) have pulled together a wide range of resources – diagrams, videos, articles etc – with help from University of York students. These accessible online resources are free for anyone to use.
The toolkit of resources has seven sections:
- Social Model of Disability
- Applications of the social model
- Human Rights model of disability
- Applications of the human rights model
- Legal rights in the UK
- Inclusive language (including accessible communication)
- Extra Resources
The tooklit can be added to so please send your suggestions for inclusion to disability@yorkhumanrights.org and schedule to check back regularly for new material. Feedback is welcome and please share these resources within your networks.
