Employment Champions

SCLD is delighted to introduce its Employment Champions. The group is made up of 7 individuals with learning disabilities who have a range of experiences from school, college and employment.

The Employment Champions are funded by SCLD to tell their stories and express their opinions on the issues facing people with learning disabilities today. Please visit our "Meet the Employment Champions" page to find out more about them. They are available to speak at events or smaller meetings either individually or as a group. Following a recent event they received the following praise for their input:

“The employment champions really helped to make the day a success. The feedback was really positive. It’s a much more powerful message to hear them speak, it really worked."

If you have a conference, employer’s event or a staff meeting where you think that hearing the views and experiences of people with learning disabilities could positively contribute then email Christine McBain on christine.m@scld.co.uk or call the SCLD office on 0141 559 5720.
