European Disability News: Publications and Resources

Summary: The "Disability News: U.K. and European Union" section of Disabled World compiles a variety of publications relevant to individuals with disabilities, seniors, and others interested in disability issues. It includes news articles, research papers, and reports from governmental and non-governmental organizations that address topics such as disability rights, accessibility, healthcare, social inclusion, and policy changes. For instance, there are articles detailing new accessibility standards for public transportation in the EU or studies on the impact of Brexit on disability benefits for UK citizens living abroad. The content aims to be useful by providing updates, helpful by offering practical information, interesting by covering a range of relevant subjects, and insightful by presenting different perspectives and research findings, some of which may be peer-reviewed, to inform readers about disability issues in the U.K. and European Union.
