Middlesbrough Council - News Forum - Setting a light to the News

Since 2008 Atos Healthcare on behalf of the government has been assessing and discounting the disabled at a rate of over 3,000 per day and 800,000 per year. At no time did the DWP, Government or Atos put in a feedback system to monitor or account for the disabled. AFTER ATOS sets out to do that. We answer the question. WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?

AFTER ATOS is about collecting the feedback and experience of those going through the Atos assessments as we believe everyone needs to be accounted for.
It is the basis of any good business practice or programme to account for what you are doing and how it affects people, especially when your intervention is to do

“No room for wheelchair”
“Braille notice 12ft off the ground”

with people’s lives and the most vulnerable.

A slide show of Why After Atos Assessment is needed and how it is aimed to work is below the recent results, and is a slideshow vid
The Story of After Atos.

The aim of AFTER ATOS is for the disabled to be accounted for and for the government to be held to account.

This is the basis of any civilisation and democracy. To do less is to fail that civilisation and democracy.

If you have had an Atos “Medical”Assessment please fill in our feedback form at the AFTER ATOS ASSESSMENT “Customer” Feedback Survey.
See example of result results below in slide show, and on our results pages. All can be accessed in pdf.

“Did not know anything about my condition”
“Ignored most of what was said by myself and my partner”
“Poor, better off seeing someone who worked in a concrete works”

AFTER ATOS gets the overall feedback and results and sends them to politicians, journalists, newsdesks and many public bodies and groups.
So no one can say that they did not know.

Respondents get their own copy on return completion in instant email.
This you can keep and use as you will. In a way it is your statement and you have documented all the important things.

You may use this by yourself to refer and remind yourself to, or you may use it by joining up with others, collecting and comparing your witness and raising group and mass action and awareness where you are.

Please try the AFTER ATOS feedback survey supported and endorsed in your area, either by government, local government or even by independent groups such as action groups, anti cuts and disabled groups.

The only way is the truth and the mass witness and testament of everyone. As the ancient saying goes

“THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.”

“I had been asked to do things that should not have “
“The physical motion test she gave me was an absolute joke.”
“I was being assessed by a health care assistant “

For any one who wants any support or advice while doing so or with appeals or WCA work programmes please follow the links.

As the government disabled assessments are on going and rolling and all need to be accounted for and their experience and affect on their lives known.

User led, User created if no one does it for us, we need to do it for ourselves.

A living Yad Vashem. (A wall and memoriam built by the after Holocaust Jews to record and keep for witness and generations all those stories by those who had gone through the Holocaust.)

We at AFTER ATOS do not wish to just create and record a memory but to stop it NOW!

Many of us know the truth,

Many still do not.

All need to be informed.
