Get Talking about Disability

Despite having the right skills and wanting to work many disabled people still face significant barriers when accessing employment, which is why I support the Leonard Cheshire Disability campaign calling for better support for disabled people on their journey to employment and whilst in work. Last week I pledged to encourage employers in Cumbernauld, Kilsyth & Kirkintilloch East to recognise the potential of disabled people and create more accessible working environments and practices. There is still a long way to go to ensure that employers create inclusive opportunities for disabled people and do not overlook this source of talent.
