Seats at the Table is proud to have signed The Disability Employment Charter, standing in solidarity with disabled people, including neurodivergent people, and alongside the organisations calling for meaningful change in disability employment.
The Charter brings together businesses, charities, unions, professional bodies and sector leaders who are committed to improving employment opportunities and outcomes for disabled people. For Seats at the Table, this commitment closely aligns with our purpose: helping organisations move beyond good intentions and towards practical, inclusive action.
Disabled people, including many neurodivergent people, continue to face barriers not only in getting into work, but in staying in work, progressing, being understood and accessing the adjustments and support they need. Too often, individuals and families are left to navigate systems that are unclear, inconsistent or exhausting.
Improving disability employment means looking carefully at the pathways that lead people into work. It means considering how disabled and neurodivergent people move between education, services, employment support, employers and wider systems. It also means recognising where those systems are difficult to access, hard to understand or poorly joined up.
As a neuroinclusion consultancy, Seats at the Table supports organisations to create workplaces and services where disabled and neurodivergent people are not simply included in principle, but considered from the start. This includes looking at recruitment, communication, management, reasonable adjustments, workplace culture, progression, psychological safety and leadership.
We also recognise that employers need support too. Many organisations want to do better, but do not always know where to begin. Clear guidance, practical training and confident conversations can help employers better understand their responsibilities, remove unnecessary barriers and create environments where disabled and neurodivergent people can participate, contribute and thrive.
Signing The Disability Employment Charter is both a statement of support and a statement of responsibility. It reflects our belief that access to employment should not depend on someone being able to mask, struggle quietly or repeatedly explain their needs in systems that were not designed with them in mind.
Seats at the Table is pleased to have the opportunity to continue these conversations in Parliament later this year, alongside other Charter signatories, policymakers, business leaders and supporters committed to improving employment outcomes for disabled people.
For us, this is about more than getting people into work. It is about dignity, progression, security and meaningful opportunity. It is about making support easier to navigate, helping employers take practical action, and building pathways that are clearer, fairer and more inclusive.
Everyone deserves a place at the table. Signing The Disability Employment Charter is one more way we are standing alongside others who believe that disabled and neurodivergent people deserve equal access to opportunity, support and belonging at work.
