We will also talk about how to position gaps in employment or education history and when, how, or if to position your disability. This will suit you in looking to get back into work or volunteering.

• Reasonable Adjustments – 6-7.30pm on 8 October, Click on this link to register

– Not only do employers have a legal duty to consider adjustments for disabled applicants or employees, they want to put support in place to ensure you can perform to your full potential. This session will explore the types of adjustments you may need, how and when to request what you require, as well as the various support available. It will also cover Access to Work as well as disclosing your disability.
