Who we support
People with learning disabilities.
Why we’re an Apt partner
Many people with learning disabilities want to work and are able to work. However, they face significant challenges and barriers to finding work, remaining in work and progressing in work. The employment rate for people with learning disabilities is incredibly low even in comparison to other groups who are disadvantaged in the labour market. SCLD is committed to working alongside third sector partners and with employers across Scotland to help overcome the barriers to employment people with disabilities experience.
