In September 2019, the National Platform of Self Advocates was successful in engaging a research grant from The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (IHREC) to examine the barriers and potential answers to increasing the participation and retention of people with intellectual disabilities in employment.
Additional information about IHREC is available at www.ihrec.ie.
In order to ensure that employers are included in our recommendations to addressing the problem of poor inclusion strategies of people with intellectual disabilities in employment the National Platform is interested in learning how employers in various sectors feel they can successfully recruit and retain employees with intellectual disabilities. Your participation would add greatly to the success of this effort to identify successful practices and share them with other employers and policy makers. To this end we would be grateful if you would complete our survey which will take 5 minutes.
