Leep1 is a self-advocacy organisation supporting the social inclusion and visibility of people with learning disabilities in society. We campaign for the rights of people with learning disabilities and offer activities that are user-led. 

Our co-chair, a lady with Downs Syndrome, will deliver an hour long session on the benefits of employing adults with learning disabilities into the workforce.

The aims of the sessions will be to support corporates to be more comfortable in having the right tools to employ learning disabled talent within their teams. We will be talking about reasonable adjustments, accessible policies, Access to Work, what is easy read information, person-centred work booklets, buddy systems and job crafting.

Building a diverse workforce will lead to innovative and creative ideas, and make your organisation a desirable and exciting place to work.
