6% and Rising

6 Percent and Rising is set up to highlight the work that is being done and the work that still needs to be done to help young disabled people into employment

[6% and Rising @6PercentRising]

Thank you for your support 🙏🏼 The 6% refers to the fact that only 6% of individuals with learning disabilities are in employment across the U.K. and we are here to change that!

[Speak to me @SpeaktoMe02]

The #speaktome campaign is all about raising awareness for speaking directly to people with disabilities, instead of their family or carers. If you have any examples of these situations, please send to: [email protected] and we will highlight them here. #disabilitytwitter

[6% and Rising @6PercentRising]

This is a really big issue that affects thousands of people across the UK and across the world. It is really disappointing to hear but not surprising. Thank you for raising this issue- @Ticketmaster you need to respond to this.

Absolutely amazing message to hear. Don't take anything for granted. The smallest changes can make the biggest difference.

☺️Don't take everyday things for granted. Sometimes the smallest things can have the biggest impact. Having a job is an example of this.

[Harry Georgiou 🏳️‍🌈🔶 @harrygeorgiou07]

People with #disabilities are often considered to be underrepresented within society, including in the media and employment. This is due to various factors such as lack of accessibility, discrimination, and limited opportunities.
Why do you think this is?

❓Do you think #AI will have a positive or negative effect when employing people with a learning disability or autism spectrum conditions?

All thoughts and comments are welcome

This is such a powerful story and highlights the importance of a strong pathway for people with a learning disability or autism spectrum conditions to help them gain valuable employment skills and hopefully get a job

Upset to see the capacity of the #Eurovision Village disabled section has only 50 seat capacity, when the event can host up to 22,000. This is below 0.3% capacity within the village. The disabled area should surely have more seats to accommodate more people with disabilities.

Liverpool City Council organised this amazing reverse jobs fair, which I had the pleasure to attend. It was a great day for all and most importantly we spread the message about #supportedinternships

Simple tasks hold significant meaning for those with disabilities. Going to work or hanging out with friends may seem trivial, but for others, it's a big accomplishment. Be grateful for the little things, they can mean the world to someone else."

[Harry Georgiou 🏳️‍🌈🔶 @harrygeorgiou07]

As a person with a disability, I value social inclusion. It's not just about physical accessibility, but creating a welcoming environment for everyone. Employers who prioritize disability inclusion benefit from a diverse and talented workforce.

I was delighted to be asked to do a thought leadership piece for @microlinkpc around the importance of a healthy work-life balance for young disabled people.

"I feel amazing and top of the world because I have a job. So many people don't have that.”

Harry Georgiou, who has complex disabilities, has called on employers to "open their eyes" to equal opportunities.
