Hi

I think that these sessions are part of the series that used to be advertised as Westminster Briefings. I have attended one or two and they were vaguely useful but nothing spectacular! My feeling that they are expensive for what they are as they appear to be priced to attract higher management. This one does look interesting though. Once you have attended one, they give you discount on others. They are disability-friendly and they were happy to allow me a PA free of charge when I was struggling with cancer treatment – yes, I know organisers should but sometimes they don’t!

Dear All,

I’m potentially interested in the session advertised below but wonder if any on list have experience of events run by this organisation and whether or not they’re worth attending.

Many thanks in advance,

Sarah

Dear Colleague,

Despite 22% of the working age population being classed as disabled, employers are still not making the necessary workplace adjustments to be disability confident. The employment rate for the able to work disabled population is 30% lower than that of the rest of the population. With the government investing funds into reducing the disability pay gap, there are plenty of steps that can be taken to bring our disabled population into work.

Our 'Embracing Disability in the Workplace' conference will equip you with insight into the assistance that is available to disability employers and provide you with the skills necessary to benefit from this largely untapped pool of talent.
