Removing barriers to create inclusive workplaces
The social model of disability recognises that barriers to full inclusion of people with disability are often created by society and embedded in environments and attitudes.
This International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD), Australian Disability Network is championing the cause to challenge these barriers and highlight steps towards creating accessible and inclusive workplaces.
