Boosting employment for people with learning disabilities
Project Background
This project will help progress the Inclusive Conwy Plan 2024-2028 and strengthen inclusivity.
Conwy Council’s organisational vision is to be “a progressive county creating opportunity”, and the aim of the project is for the council to lead by example by co-producing a culture of equity, accessibility and opportunities for employment for all. We particularly want to focus on improving internal employment opportunities for people with learning disabilities. This project is based in Conwy County Borough in Wales.
