Are you looking to create an inclusive workplace culture that embraces diversity and removes barriers faced by individuals with disabilities?

In the UK, there are more than 7 million people of working age with a disability or long-term health conditions. While approximately half are in work, many more would like to work, representing a vast pool of untapped skills and talent. Unfortunately, stigma, discrimination, and damaging stereotypes still exist within the workplace, harming the careers of disabled employees and their mental health.

While most organisations recognise the significance of inclusive work cultures and the advantages that Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) bring, some individuals with disabilities encounter prejudice or struggle to access the necessary support to unlock their full potential.

From the Transforming Support: Health and Disability White Paper's reforms to employment and welfare to The National Disability Strategy's goals of addressing daily challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, the UK government is committed to enhancing support for disabled individuals and dismantling the barriers they confront.

The Institute for Government & Public Policy is proud to continue building a reputation for delivering inspirational and empowering diversity, equity, and inclusion events. Returning for its fourth year, the Annual Disability Inclusion in the Workplace Conference aims to illustrate how organisations can better cater to the diverse needs of the modern workforce.

Join us at the Fourth Annual Disability Inclusion in the Workplace Conference 2024 to hear about the latest government policy on disability inclusion, good practices from experts across the public, private and voluntary sectors, and case study examples of innovation and improvement.
