Disability Action

Disability Action works to ensure that people with disabilties attain their full rights as citizens by supporting inclusion, influencing Government policy and changing attitudes in partnership with disabled people.

The Work Preparation Programme

The Work Preparation Programme enables people with disabilities to address barriers associated with their disability and prepare to access a labour market with the confidence necessary to achieve and sustain their job goal. Individually tailored and work–focused, the 12-week programme aims to offer disabled people the opportunity to develop self-confidence and gain work placement experience with local employers.
