United Response’s Employment Summit – limited places still available

There are still some places left for our Employment Summit on 15th May, in London starting from 8.00am onwards.

Part of the event will see the launch of our Supported Employment Policy Report.

The event will focus on the fact that despite the fact that two thirds of people with learning disabilities want to work, less than one in five are given the opportunity. It will explore the barriers people with learning disabilities face in finding employment and ways to support them.

Phil Hope, minister for the third sector, and Susan Scott Parker, chief executive of the Employer’s Forum On Disability, will be among the senior spokespeople from the public and private sector, while employers and employees will be sharing their real life experiences. The event is sponsored by Unum.
