Access All Areas and partners shared solutions from their Transforming Leadership programme for increasing employment for learning disabled and autistic professionals during a public event held on March 12^th 2025, and have gathered resources shared during the event on this page.

This event wrapped up 2 years of work on Transforming Leadership with 7 disability arts companies from around the UK, where 14 trainee leaders upskilled, built a network, and learned to navigate work as learning disabled and autistic professionals.

Only 5% of learning disabled people in the UK are in work, while 86% want to be. We hope these practical solutions and the experiences of learning disabled leaders will help show a new direction.
