The Impact of Cost-of-living on People With Disabilities
About 1 in 5 people come under the definition of disabled in the UK, in that they have a long-lasting condition which impacts day-to-day living. At Sheffield Hallam, our community reflects this in the student population though it is much lower in the staff population. Some staff and students may not identify as disabled. Others in our community may be carers or live with disabled people. Ultimately, we will all experience disability or the impact of disability in our lives, either through lived experience, through supporting family and friends or our students and colleagues.
