Cerebral Palsy Connect: Work and Access in Ireland

Join us for an informative webinar on Work and Access, a programme in Ireland designed to help reduce and remove barriers in the workplace that restrict employment choices for disabled people, providing them with the same opportunity to succeed in work as their non-disabled peers.

The aim of Work and Access is to support disability-inclusive employment by offering funding to job candidates, employees, self-employed people, and employers to adjust their workplaces and make them more accessible. This will help to make sure employees of all abilities are given equal opportunities.

This session will be hosted by Niall Lane and Nicola Welford. Niall Lane is from the Employer Relations Division in the Department of Social Protection. Niall processes employer applications for Work and Access, and is a part of the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Network within the Division.

Nicola is the Community & Communication Officer for the Cerebral Palsy Foundation Ireland.

Topics covered in today's webinar include: employee supports, employer supports, wage subsidy scheme, Jobsplus, and disability supports.
