About Disability Employment Charter

Disability Employment Charter
The Disability Employment Charter consists of nine areas of action that the authors believe the British government needs to tackle to address the disadvantage that disabled people face in finding and staying in work. Each of the nine areas of action contain several specific tasks that they believe will help achieve positive change for disabled people’s employment outcomes.
