Hidden in plain sight - Working together to tackle disability harassment

6 October 2011 - Swansea
13 October 2011 - Wrexham

"We take it so often we don't think it is abuse, but it is"

“People might think that is nothing, it is a bit of joking, but it is devastating.”

'Hidden in plain sight' sets out the findings of our inquiry into disability related harassment: What is the impact of disability harassment on daily life? What needs to change for people to lead confident lives? How can we develop partnerships that respond effectively to harassment, support disabled people and prevent incidents in the first place?

"I cannot explain to you what a living hell it's been"

“We’ve had petrol poured round our vehicle, threats to fire bomb our home, the vehicle scratched... four lots of attacks with bricks, oil and creosote all over it and three bags of paint over our property.”
