Our Scottish Network brings together colleagues working on disability and accessibility from Partner and Member organisations in Scotland and local disability and equality organisations to:
- Debate current topics relevant to our Members and Partners in Scotland including local policy issues and best practice in business;
- Share innovative practice and facilitate solutions-focused discussion on the recruitment and employment of disabled people or serving disabled customers
- Allow colleagues across different sectors and industries in Scotland to network and make connections with each other; and
- Establish a disability-related support and advice ‘hub’ of expertise among Business Disability Forum Members and Partners in Scotland
