Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a commentary on “A summary of government initiatives relating to employment for people with learning disabilities in England”. Design/methodology/approach – In her paper, Blamires outlines the development of policy in employment for people with learning disabilities. This commentary explores whether this policy development is having any impact. Findings – The statistics indicate that development of policy does not appear to be making a difference. It is concluded that this is about how it is being implemented and the time it takes for policy to have an impact. What is needed to fully implement these changes is a huge cultural shift, changing people’s mindset about what people with learning disabilities can achieve. Originality/value – This paper provides an individual perspective on the impact of policy on the lives of people with learning disabilities.
