This keynote explores the barriers disabled people face in accessing and thriving in employment, drawing on lived experience and insights from Evenbreak’s research. It highlights how traditional recruitment and workplace practices often exclude talented individuals, and how employers can take meaningful steps to change that.
This session challenges organisations to move beyond compliance and embrace inclusion as a driver of equity, performance and belonging.

• The session will cover:
• - Common obstacles disabled candidates encounter during recruitment and employment
• - Key findings from Evenbreak’s research into employer attitudes and disabled jobseeker experiences
• - Practical approaches to inclusive hiring and workplace adjustments
• - The value of recognising disability as a source of strength and innovation
