Thriving and surviving at work: Disabled people’s employment strategies

Alan Roulstone (University of Leeds),Lorraine Gradwell (Breakthrough UK Ltd),Jeni Price (Equality Associates),Lesley Child (Freelance Disability Equality Trainer)

To date, studies of disabled people and employment have mainly focused on barriers to gaining and maintaining employment. This report breaks new ground in asking: how do those disabled people who are already in work get and keep paid work?

Written in an accessible style, the report:

* details the strategies disabled people use to thrive and survive at work;

* exposes the employment difficulties disabled people face in work environments designed by and for non-disabled people;

* looks at the policy context in which disabled people maintain paid work;

* draws on the experiences related by disabled people themselves;

* frames questions in terms of the issues that are important to disabled workers.
