✳️New resources launched today to help employers build more inclusive workplaces. ✳️

During a visit to Springfield Properties' Millerhill development, Tom Arthur MSP, Minister for Business and Fair Work, met employers involved in SUSE's Apt Making It Work project to hear how practical workplace changes are improving opportunities for disabled people and those with long-term health conditions across Scotland.

Alongside the visit, we launched the Apt Making It Work report and four new Employer Guides packed with practical, evidence-based advice to help employers strengthen inclusion, accessibility and workplace support.

Scotland needs national leadership on learning disability.

Following yesterday’s Ministerial Statement, SCLD is calling for clear action to tackle the inequalities faced by people with learning disabilities.

People with learning disabilities deserve a national strategy, clear commitments on funding and a meaningful role in shaping decisions that affect their lives.

As one Include For Good Rapporteur said:

“It is all very good saying people have a voice, but we need to see results.”

We need more than commitments. We need action, accountability and measurable change.

Some employers worry inclusion will be costly or difficult.
We know that often the main barriers are confidence and knowledge, not cost.

Supported Employment helps address both:
• Free, practical advice tailored to your business
• Support through recruitment and retention
• Guidance for managers

The result:
A more inclusive workplace and better access to talent.

During Inclusive Workplaces Week Scotland, our free webinars will help you get started with simple, practical actions.
Put these principles into action on - our annual job shadowing event in Scotland.

In Scotland, only around 50 percent of disabled people are in employment, compared to over 80 percent of non disabled people.
That gap shows a clear issue... But it also highlights a real opportunity for employers. There is talent being missed.

What can employers do now:
• Review how accessible your recruitment process is
• Check if job requirements create unnecessary barriers
• Start conversations about inclusion at leadership level

This November, Inclusive Workplaces Week Scotland will focus on how to create more inclusive workplaces. We will be sharing free webinars with practical tips and guidance.

This National Inclusion Week, we are celebrating the skills, talent and experience that disabled people bring to workplaces across Scotland.

Yet the disability employment gap remains 28.5%.

Creating accessible and inclusive recruitment processes helps ensure disabled people have fair opportunities to enter, succeed and progress at work.

Together, we can build workplaces where everyone has an equal opportunity to contribute.

In Q2 of 2024, the gap was 28.5%. The employment rate was 53.1% for disabled people, compared with 81.6% for non-disabled people. A circular graphic illustrates the 28.5% gap.

Employment support isn't one-size-fits-all.

For many disabled and neurodivergent jobseekers, personalised support can make the difference between wanting a job and securing one. That's why Supported Employment is such an important part of Scotland's employability offer.

On Scottish Employability Day, we're celebrating services that recognise individual strengths, remove barriers and create pathways to meaningful employment.

This week, we’re proud to support Scottish Learning Disability Week 2026!

Taking place from 7 - 13 September, this year’s theme is “I am here… to be seen.”

Being seen means more than being visible. It means being listened to, included, respected and valued, having your choices recognised and having a say in decisions that affect your life. This means having the right support in place to participate fully and be included in your community.

Throughout the week, people with learning disabilities and organisations across Scotland will be sharing experiences, starting conversations and challenging the barriers that still prevent people with learning disabilities from participating equally in society.

Scottish Learning Disability Week is an important reminder that people with learning disabilities should not simply be included in conversations about their lives, their voices and lived experience should help shape those conversations from the beginning.
