Access to Employment
Our research shows that we face barriers in all areas of our lives such as education, housing and employment. And this has an impact on our health, wellbeing and life chances. We know we must work towards equity in all areas of our life. But this is a big task, so where do we start?
Based on our research and feedback from our advisory group, we decided to start with a focus on employment. We created a survey to find out more about your experiences in the workplace and when trying to get a job. Now, we are analysing the results of the survey so we can share what we learnt with you and how we’re going to use this in 2025.
If you aren’t already signed up to our mailing list, join today to make sure you don’t miss the results: deaftogether.org.uk/joinus/
Together, we can make sure deaf people can get the information and support they need to access employment, and thrive at work.
