Among those organisations marking UKDHM is the UK parliament, which has published a downloadable book that is suitable for teachers, home educators and parents to share with children aged seven to 11.

The book – designed by illustrator and chronic illness activist Ananya Rao-Middleton – features the stories of six disabled people who have influenced disability rights and laws in the UK.

The six are Dame Anne Begg, one of the first wheelchair-users to be elected as an MP; Ben Purse, the first general secretary of the National League of the Blind; artist and campaigner Deborah Williams; suffragette Rosa May Billinghurst; pioneering deaf parliamentarian Alf Morris; and the independent living activist and crossbench peer Baroness [Jane] Campbell.
