A large number of information and activities to bring different aspects of disability history into the curriculum focussing on the way disabled people were treated from 1000 AD to the present day. A primary focus is on the change from sanctuary in the monastries to dissolution, the rise of the poor law and then the workhouse; the introduction of asylums for those considered ‘mad’ in 1850 followed by eugenists driven incarceration of people with intelectual impairments or learning difficulties then the growth of the de-segregation movement and independent living currently under threat from Government austerity measures.
