Disability Rights UK has today responded to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) Committe on the food supply during the Covid-19 pandemic.

We have already written to the DEFRA Committee to raise our concerns and are now in dialogue with the committee, along with other charities who represent disabled and older people and unpaid carers, to ensure that disabled people can safely access healthy food during the crisis. However, more needs to be done to ensure that supermarkets make reasonable adjustments for disabled people.
