The Working Together Conference 2014
Supporting disabled people into employment
• Businesses to employ a person with a disability for a trial period
• Employers to think about job carving
• More choice of ways to apply for a job
• Offer working interviews
• Employ someone! The more people with a learning disability that are seen to be a valuable part of the work force, the easier it will be for others to get a job
