Live Scribing - Merton CIL

Below is my record of a 2 hour event from last week. The first remote annual meeting for Merton's Centre for Independent Living. The event is split into three sections 1) the board meeting, 2) theatre workshops, 3) a discussion of participants' needs.

Lots of eye-opening things happen when you're an able bodied person scribing for a group of disabled people. 

But what I'm always left with is admiration for people's resilience and comradeship, it's all very humbling. 

The BBC is marking the 25th anniversary of the Disability Discrimination Act (8th November) with a month long season:
