Committee on Disability Matters

Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Dr. Rosaleen McDonagh:

The public sector has been progressive in many ways, but the private sector has been really bad in employment, not just employment but also professional development. As Dr. Elliott said, it starts off in the classroom and if disabled people are not in mainstream or able to access mainstream leading to mainstream employment with fair, decent and equitable wages while the employer is supported to adapt reasonable accommodation, then it is not really work.
