Accessible Homes

5 live Investigates the difficulties disabled people face living in homes which aren't suitable for their needs. Plus a look at compensation payments by police forces.

Families tell 5 live Investigates about the daily difficulties they face living in homes which aren't suitable for their needs. More than 300,000 people with disabilities aren't able to live their lives to full, hampered by stairways, inaccessible bathrooms, and in one case the simple lack of a ramp which means one elderly woman hasn't been able to leave her house for two years.

And why has almost 拢60 million been paid out in compensation by UK police forces in the last two years?
