A quick moan: How many 18-year-old boys from single-parent homes can afford driving lessons, let alone a car, and running costs? Yet it’s often the first thing they are asked when trying to secure a job in construction. Unfair barrier! #DrivingCosts #BarriersToWork #construction

Beware of Programmes defining disabled people's worth only in economic terms- disabled ple have value & we can contribute beyond work although this is important too. But work is not guaranteed route out of poverty- talk to #DPOs .@GDA__online @InclusionScot @DEScotTweets

A great piece written by two of the KNEE Center's researchers, Dr. Deyo and Dr. Timmons, on Nebraska's newest legislation. This legislation includes the recognition of universal licensing for many occupations, with Nebraska joining 21 other states in reducing the #BarrierstoWork
