The Department for Education, together with Disability Rights UK have launched the Disabled Apprentice Network to gather feedback and ideas to address any issues, barriers and solutions to make apprenticeships more accessible and inclusive. Members of the group are appointed because of their personal experience and desire to champion apprenticeships for Disabled people. The group will discuss, identify and share experience, advise on key issues for Disabled apprentices, suggest solutions and support the development of practical resources and toolkits. The group meets every month for one hour. If you are a Disabled apprentice or have done an apprenticeship in the past and would like to join the network, then please contact them at getahead@disabilityrightsuk.org
