The Covid-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement have drawn major attention to inequalities in our society. While recent years have seen organisations invest more in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion programmes, there is a great deal more to be done. With only 46.3% of working-age Deaf or disabled people employed in the UK compared with 76.4% of non-disabled people, we urgently need change.
Real’s ‘THEN and NOW’ project offers local employers a unique opportunity to gain the training, advice and guidance you might need to become an excellent employer of Deaf and disabled people. All with the minimum of cost, time or fuss. For free.
