Employing disabled people

LEAD Toolkit

The LEAD Toolkit was developed to help State Sector agencies take a lead on employing disabled people. It focuses on the practical things that State Sector agencies can to do increase the employment of disabled people. This includes advice that covers all stages in the employment cycle and advice specific to managers.

You can find more information on the LEAD Toolkit on the State Services Commission website .
