Just 5.1% of adults with a learning disability & 22% of autistic adults are in paid employment.

We aim to increase employer confidence in hiring someone with a learning disability and/or autism, showing the benefits & the support ACL offers, as well as explaining ways to make the hiring process and workplace more accessible through reasonable adjustments.

We hope through this campaign more people get into employment, working in a place where they feel supported and understood.
