Employment

For Learning Disability Week 2024, Bild spoke to people with learning disabilities about things that affect their daily lives. People with learning disabilities chose topics that were most important to them. Only about a quarter of adults with learning disabilities have a job and only about 1 in 20 have a paid job. We asked people to share their thoughts and experiences with finding and staying in work. 'Do you see me?' This year, Learning Disability Week is about people with learning disabilities being seen, heard and valued. Join the conversation by using #LDWeek24 on all major social media platforms.
