Non-disabled employees earn on average £1.90 an hour (16.5 per cent) more than disabled employees –or £3,458 more a year. That's nearly a year of the average expenditure on housing, fuel and power.
If we are to tackle the disability pay gap, we must tackle the barriers that disabled people face at work and ensure that workplaces are accessible for all.
As part of the 2022 Disabled Workers Conference, join us for this panel discussion on how we ensure employers provide accessibility as standard not just when requested.
