Disability News Service

Introduction

Disability News Service (DNS) is the country’s only news agency dedicated to news impacting on the disabled community. John Pring is the Editor of the DNS and is a highly valued and trusted journalist. Over the years, he identified the ongoing negative impact created by successive UK governments, whose social policies caused preventable harm to chronically ill and disabled people who are unfit to work and least able to protest. John’s work gives a voice to the disabled community and, to date, he’s the only journalist to expose the corporate influence of Unum Insurance with British social policies since 1992. John identifies the ongoing activities of the Department for Work and Pensions which cause preventable harm to the disabled community who live in fear of their next flawed assessment, as the UK welfare state moves ever closer to being demolished, which fulfils ‘Thatcher’s Dark Legacy’. Below are selected links to John’s published news stories, and I am very grateful for permission to highlight his work.
