Sharing information on disability

In 2024, DR UK published a report on 'Sharing information on Disability'. Our Advice Services Manager, Rundip Thind, conducted this research via a survey on the Disabled Students Helpline. The report aims to better understand the experiences of Disabled students, trainees, and employees, in respect of sharing information on disabilities and exploring what could make sharing such information easier.

If you’re a young Disabled person looking to develop your career, or an employer or training provider involved with supporting apprentices, these reports will have something of interest for you. More information on apprenticeships can also be found via this YouTube video and on our TikTok.
