One person with a prosthetic leg plays guitar, another uses a wheelchair, a child in a green dinosaur costume plays, and another child wearing a cape builds with blocks.

⏰ Just two weeks to go until #OTWeek25!

This Wednesday Kay, our Campaigns and Policy Manager, is taking part in Ride the Night Liverpool. This inclusive, women-led, evening ride aims to shine a light (literally!) on the need for safer streets and better cycling infrastructure, especially for women riding after dark.

When and how we use Ai is key, for many navigating this will take time.
There are so many communications which are better, meaningful and authentic only because they are humanly crafted.

WIN: Victory in landmark case on gender recognition High Court rules that a trans man cannot be denied a Gender Recognition Certificate because he is trying to conceive, in an important win supported by Good Law Project.

This is a HUGE victory for trans people’s human rights all round, especially for trans guys! It also seems to undermine the “biological sex” Supreme Court misjudgment by @goodlawproject.bsky.social.

Une achievement exceptionnelle!

Cardiff to Bilbao Talking about flight-free travel can help others realise the possibilities, as Briony discovers on a trip to Spain

Flight-free travel is easy if you're used to it... but it's nice when a frequent-flying friend comes along too. Briony heads to northern Spain with a friend who would usually have got there by air. That's the power of leading by example!

Today we handed in over fifty-five thousand signatures at Downing Street, calling on the government to keep Britain in the European Convention on Human Rights. Leaving it would put us alongside Russia and Belarus. Britain must stand for justice, not isolation.

🏛️ Everyone should be able to take part in our democracy.

RCOT joins RCSLT and 30+ organisations in the #InclusiveParliament coalition calling for a UK Parliament that works for everyone — including people with communication disabilities, difficulties or differences.
