A more diverse workforce will be critical in delivering the modern energy system the UK needs.
We joined @Enable_Tweets at the #Europeinaction2024, to talk about the #BreakingBarriers programme and why being an inclusive employer is fundamental to success.

Moving testimony from Raisa & Yulia in #Ukraine on @EASPD_Brussels, @MyEDF & @InclusionEurope press conference this morning; mothers defending the #HumanRights of their children and all who have a #LearningDisability in a humanitarian crisis. To support: inclusion-europe.eu/help-ukr…
We're obviously glad to have @Theresa_Shearer back at @ENABLEScotland! But it was great to join her in supporting @SightScotland & @SightScotVets to review risks & opportunities, and to help bring our #demonstratebydoing ethos to the management of the two charity's estates.

Today we mark 11 years since the entry into force of the @UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with #Disabilities in the EU.
Our #EUDisabilityRights strategy sets clear goals for equal opportunities, inclusion and participation in this area of policy.

Great to see the mainstream media picking up on this campaign: it's unbelievable that, in this day and age, we're still sending people away, or leaving them stuck in hospitals, simply because they have #learningdisabilities
