Employer Toolkit – Inclusive Herts
Hertfordshire co-production board worked together on a toolkit to encourage businesses to employ people with disabilities in order to make any workplace more inclusive and accessible.
The Employer Toolkit was developed with service users and carers as a practical resource for employers. It is designed to be used by small to medium sized business/organisations in Hertfordshire and aims to encourage them to:
- Employ disabled people by busting some myths and giving details of all the support and advice available.
- Provide a more inclusive service to people with disabilities and health conditions who may need extra help, time and understanding.
