Access All Areas and partners will share solutions from their Transforming Leadership programme for increasing employment for learning disabled and autistic professionals.
They’ll talk about
- how to navigate benefits while freelancing
- Access to Work for learning disabled and autistic professionals
- co-leadership of creative spaces
- Accessible board meetings
- the impact of inclusive leadership.
This event will wrap up 2 years of work on Transforming Leadership with 7 disability arts companies from around the UK, where 14 trainee leaders upskilled, built a network, and learned to navigate work as learning disabled and autistic professionals.
Only 5% of learning disabled people in the UK are in work, while 86% want to be. We hope these practical solutions and the experiences of learning disabled leaders will help show a new direction.
