If you’re in the UK and live with a disability, you’re entitled to reasonable adjustments at work, education and healthcare under the Equality Act 2010. Inclusive design and assistive technology can reduce barriers and improve wellbeing. If you’re unsure where to start, speak to your GP, check your local NHS services, or connect with the organisations above.
You can also explore our support library, try a quick self-check, or set a gentle routine with the self-care planner.
You don’t need to know what’s “wrong”. Start with whatever feels manageable even if that’s just looking.
If you’re in immediate danger, call 999 or go to A&E. You can also call 116 123 (Samaritans).
