Description
This handbook is written from an employer's point of view - for those who employ people with learning disabilities and want to know more about making it a success, and for those considering employing them for the first time. There is plenty of support for employers, and this handbook explains how to get it. It is full of real-life practical examples of how employers and workers in private, voluntary and local authority sectors have made a success of this important area of equality and diversity. It is easy to use with clear sections and covers everything employers need to know - starting with what a learning disability is. It goes through all the stages from recruiting to supervision, from dealing with problems to helping career development. There are 'key information' sections on sources of support and a series of training cards, and this practical guide will be useful to employers in any sized organisation.
