Where Dan White has been quoted
- 01‘I was seen as a criminal’: The carers targeted by DWP over accidental paymentsinews.co.uk · 1 Dec 2025
- 02Only 5% of people with learning disabilities in employment, finds landmark Mayfield reviewlearningdisabilitytoday.co.uk · 6 Nov 2025
Verbatim
“There is a long, protracted history of the DWP not only failing people, but of being obtuse, difficult to navigate, cruel and guilty of ignorance.”
“Yet another government-commissioned report blames Disabled people for not working. Mayfield's report has a focus on "fixing Disabled people", but you can tell he wasn't listening to our community because it's so rife with medical model-focused language.”
