Being employed means to be an integral part of society and to share common experience. Unfortunately many disabled people face severe problems, when they try to find a job: Employers are often trapped in prejudices due to a lack of information and workplaces are often not properly equipped.

Seven out of 10 employers say they know nothing about a £50 million Government financial support scheme, Access to Work (ATW), that assists employers to take on and retain disabled employees.
