Disability employment awareness effort launched
June 20th, 2008From the [UK] Guardian:
The British disability charity Mencap is in the midst of “I Want to Work” week, prompted by statistics showing that only ten percent of people with learning disabilities in the UK have a paying job. The charity says that most people with learning disabilities want to work, but that polls have shown that most people in Britain thought they were unable to do so.
“To help people with a learning disability find employment, we need to challenge people’s attitudes towards people with a learning disability,” said Mencap chief executive Dame Jo Williams. “We want to show everyone how much a person with a learning disability can offer.”
