Browse through a variety of resources that are rooted in discovering our history:

They can be viewed by theme:

We hope that you will find resources that interest you, and that will inspire you to organise an event. If you work within education we have given you some ideas to plan lessons:

EYFS

KS1

For further ideas on how to discover our history and challenge the negative stereotypes that lead to discrimination take a look through:

PEOPLE / PROFILES
BOOKS

By  readily sharing these resources online we hope to spread awareness of our history to a wider audience who can develop a more positive attitude towards disabled people and better understand the barriers we face in society, which despite improvements in recent years, is still largely hostile towards us.
