More and more people with a learning disability are being involved in choosing the staff who support them and this is particularly important with the increase in direct payments and individual budgets. However, people are often only included in the interview but true involvement means understanding and contributing to all of the different stages of recruitment. This event will offer tools and activities to explain the legal and practical aspects of recruitment, identifying ways for people to be included, and how to make the process more accessible whilst not compromising the legal requirements of the recruitment process.
