Ellen Keane: Disability is not a dirty word. Time to end taboos 

'I think if more people were to realise what we go through it would be more automatic for them to think about it. Just knowing these things might make everyone’s life a bit easier'

LAUNCH: Ellen Keane has launched a new weekly podcast ‘The D-Word’ which will cover everything from finding love to the struggle to get access to facilities and funding.

Paralympic champion Ellen Keane is launching a podcast about disability which she admits could offend some people.

But she is putting her fears aside to use her platform to create more allyship and accountability among the general public, stressing that they could play a much greater role in understanding and helping those with disabilities.
