> I am particularly interested in attitudes of employers to would be disabled candidates. I am less interested in government propaganda to employers about the advantages of employing disabled workers.

> I seem to remember that SCOPE or The Spastic Society, did a survey (with a sample of about a hundred) of employers where two letters were sent one being no mention of the candidate of being disabled and the alternative stating that they could do the job,
however they had a physical impairment. They surveyed offers of interviews. It was published in 1980s or early 1990s. The result being of the candidates who did not state they had an candidates having a far higher chance of interview than the other candidate.
