Nearly half of Brits feel self-conscious about how to behave around disabled people - but here are some top tips for how to be more inclusive
Millions of Brits admit they don’t act themselves when in the company of someone disabled, research has found.
Only 12 per cent of families raising a disabled or seriously ill child say they are able to take part in all the social activities they’d like to – causing 83 per cent to feel sad, left out, and frustrated. Following the study, McCain and Family Fund have collaborated with presenter and comedian, Alex Brooker, to promote more inclusive social occasions, and launch a specially-designed, limited-edition scoop bowl.
“We want to make everyday meals more inclusive for everyone – so we’re delighted to have created this specially-designed scoop bowl, to ensure that families can better enjoy mealtimes together." However, 48 per cent would like to boost their own confidence when it comes to spending time with disabled people, and 72 per cent of all respondents believed more public awareness is needed around what life is like for them.
