UNISON Scotland Disabled Members

How disabled people can  overcome invisible barriers to recruitment, into meaningful jobs with career progression, and remain in work.

The webinar is co-sponsored by UNISON Scotland’s Disabled Members Committee and UNISON Lothian Health Branch as part of UNISON’s Year of Disabled Workers.Hosted by the Disability Union, Kirsty Smillie is calling on employers to remove the invisible barriers that disabled people face finding work and remaining in work. Disabled people face challenges gaining and maintaining employment and achieving career progression through avoidable workplace challenges and barriers caused by attitudes, assumptions, and workplace structures and policies. The unemployment rate for people with a disability is twice that of the general population and that’s shameful. The Disability Union decided it is time to educate and raise awareness of this issue and change perceptions of what employees with disabilities can achieve.

The event will take place , via MS Teams. Full BSL and Captioning Services are provided.Links will be provided within your registration confirmation.

The Disability Union is a UK-wide community group. It exists for a political purpose to improve disability rights and to make sure that disabled people are at the heart of decision-making about issues that affect them.

UNISON Lothian Health Branch is the second largest UNISON branch in Scotland, with members from Acute and Community NHS Services as well as Private Sector Care Homes. The Branch is committed to progressing the position of its disabled membership across the organisation.
