[Photo ID: A screenshot of a social media post by UK Green MP for Brighton Pavilion Sian Berry. Her text says, "If you want a clear illustration of the Government's disregard for engaging with Disabled people, they have produced NO accessible version of their plans today." After this there is an excerpt from the UK Government's announcement today about its Green Paper on reforms and cuts to disability and sickness benefits. The excerpt is entitled Stakeholder Engagement. It says, "We want to ensure disabled people and people with health conditions are at the heart of what we do. Engaging with them and others, such as parents, carers, healthcare professionals, and additional experts, is important to ensure the development of effective policies that provide the right support and improve the
experience people have with the Department for Work and Pensions
(DWP). We recognise that many people do not feel heard, do not trust the system and feel that their voices, views and evidence are not truly taken into account. We want to change this. The publication of this Green Paper marks the beginning of our consultation period. The consultation will close 12 weeks after the point at which the accessible versions of this Green Paper are available. We have published this paper ahead of the accessible versions to put
detailed information about the matters subject to consultation in the public domain at the earliest opportunity. The production of accessible versions requires additional time, which is why the consultation period will not close until 12 weeks after these are released, so as to ensure all stakeholders have sufficient time to engage." The passage from "We have published..." to "...at the earliest opportunity" is highlighted in Sian Berry's post. End ID.]
