“As Chairman of DWP’s Employer Engagement on Disability Steering Group, I can vouch for the excellence that Kate Headley and The Clear Company have brought to bear in developing a very practical “tool-kit” for employers on how to recruit and retain disabled people, and they have done this through a very involving process with major and SME employers across the country.”

“I really like the guidance (and I’ve read quite a lot in my time). It is easy to read, very practical, reassuring and importantly focuses on identifying cultural, attitudinal and physical barriers that affect disabled people, and then talks about removing them. In my view it reflects and indeed promotes a social model of disability approach… in fact it indicates that the social model’s ideas are beginning to be genuinely mainstreamed into current thinking and practice. ”
