Inclusive Work, Disability and Ageing Network

The Inclusive Work, Disability and Ageing Network aims to advance an inclusive future of work for disabled and older people.

Inclusive work is designed and managed to fit the reality of people’s lives, rather than expecting everyone to ‘fit in’ to a rigid model of working. It helps secure good work for all.

Join us to exchange perspectives, lessons, and developments, and to explore how we can collaborate to progress improvements in disabled and older people’s employment. Our activities include running participatory events, connection through an online platform and writing articles for thought, learning and discussion.

Building an inclusive future of work for disabled and older people will require the collaboration of many: people with lived experience, disabled and older people’s organisations, employers, trade unionists, innovators, researchers, policymakers and analysts, and allies. We welcome all to join us.
