We still have a way to go
The present Government says the best way out of poverty is work but until all employers become convinced of the ability of disabled people this isn’t a reality for many. Before retirement in 2015 I worked for a government department and six years ago, I was able through my trade union and hospital specialist to obtain a reasonable adjustment for a disability.
My hope is not that disabled people would be given a chance to work that is demeaning but that employers give disabled people an opportunity to work.
