A month into Prime Minister Liz Truss’s premiership and there’s still no confirmation about who the new Minister of State for Disabled People will be…or is there? Nikki Fox and Emma Tracey do some super sleuthing and present their evidence to Access All listeners.

Newly released disability hate crime figures reveal record numbers of incidents. Cassie Lovelock talks about her experience while Ali Gunn gives some tips on how to report such incidents.

And actors Leon Harrop and Sarah Gordy talk about their brand new BBC sitcom, Ralph and Katie, which follows the highs and lows of two newlyweds who both have Down’s syndrome.

Producers: Keiligh Baker, Amy Elizabeth and Emma Tracey
Recording / mixing: Dave O'Neill
