This handbook is written from an employer's point of view, contains a wealth of information about how employers can get advice and support about employing people with learning disabilities and is full of real-life practical examples of how employers and workers in private, voluntary and local authority sectors have made a success of this important area of equality and diversity. The handbook covers everything employers need to know and goes through all the stages from recruiting to supervision, and from dealing with problems to helping career development. There are 'key information' sections on sources of support and a series of training cards. (62 pages)
