Publication date: 28/07/2006

A formal investigation into employment issues has been launched by the Disability Rights Commission (DRC). This follows concerns about a lack of job opportunities for disabled people in the three key public sectors of nursing, teaching, and social work. The 12-month investigation will ask how training, qualifying and working practices may be posing challenges to the entry and progress of disabled people.
