DEPLOY
Disabled people are statistically less likely to have the same qualifications as non-disabled people and are less likely to be in employment.This is rarely because of a person's impairment, but because disabled people are much more likely to have been excluded from education, training and support than non-disabled people. ILS is working with an organisation called Deploy to tackle this inequality. Use the links below to find out more about Deploy:
