Employing a person with a disability is a positive step in the companies life. It can break down some of the myths surrounding disability. Disability is not aways visible, as in somecases employers and employees are not aware that a co-worker has a disability.

People with disability need a chance to prove that they can work, and want to work. Working in a mainstream job can make a hugh difference to a persons self esteem.

Employing a person with a disability can be a positive experience both for the work-force and the employer. It helps to break down barriers, de-mystify "disability", and provides an insight into the problems and inequalities of life with a disability.

We will come to your premises and talk to you about employing people with disabilities.

The presentation only takes 30 minutes,

but through experience we have found that face to face interaction helps to reduce fears and doubts about employing someone with a disability.
