Despite the fact that two thirds of people with learning disabilities want to work, less than one in five are given the opportunity.
That's why on May 15th, we will be holding a business breakfast exploring the barriers people with learning disabilities face in finding employment and ways to support them.
Phil Hope, minister for the third sector, and Susan Scott Parker, chief executive of the Employer's Forum On Disability, will be among the senior spokespeople from the public and private sector, while employers and employees will be sharing their real life experiences. The event, sponsored by Unum, will be held in London.
