Disability Law @ Birmingham (D-L@B) is pleased to be hosting Louise Bell for a hybrid research seminar on 6th May about the findings from her doctoral research on 'Disability Employment from Policy to Practice: Accountability, Accessibility'. About the seminar:Disabled people in the UK continue to encounter exclusion at every stage of employment. Despite legal frameworks, policies, and initiatives disabled people continue to encounter inaccessible recruitment, discretionary reasonable adjustments, and slow ineffective processes. Responsibility is pushed onto individuals to self-advocate and fit into existing systems. This research explores how this happens in practice by gathering the experiences of disabled people, employment service professionals, and employers across the cycle of employment.The research proposes practical solutions and a governance tool kit that can help challenge the barriers to employment for disabled people. About the speaker:Louise is an internationally experienced disability and employment leader, currently working as an Autism Specialist Mentor and Consultant. Her research specialises in disability, employment, and policy. She completed my professional doctorate in September 2025 where she explored the lived experience of disabled people, employment service professionals, and employers throughout the full cycle of employment in the UK. She is now seeking post-doctoral opportunities that will build on this work and contribute to the development of more inclusive and equitable workplace practices and disability employment reform.
