National Assembly for Wales
Petition to increase the number of people with a learning disability employed by the public sector in Wales
We call upon the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Assembly Commission and the Welsh Assembly Government to take a lead in employing more people with a learning disability, and to encourage other public sector employers, such as the NHS and Local Authorities, to employ more people with a learning disability
Only 1 in 10 people with a learning disability who want to work are in any form of paid employment. This is unfair.
