Disability Confident is creating a movement of change, encouraging employers to think differently about disability and take action to improve how they recruit, retain and develop disabled people. Being Disability Confident is a unique opportunity to lead the way in our community. It was developed by employers and disabled people’s representatives to make it rigorous but easily accessible, particularly for smaller businesses.
A spokesperson for the charity added: “Our mission is to continue to support people with learning disabilities to have a great life. We have a dedicated vision to carry on delivering outstanding needs led services to achieve this so that children, young people and adults with learning disabilities and their families can and do develop the skills and confidence to always reach their full potential.Our vision is to support people with learning disabilities to have a great life.
