ADP (Association of Disabled Professionals)

An email service offering the opportunity for disabled people to speak to another disabled person for employment advice, information and peer support

How it can help

ADP provides moral and personal support; guidance on effective job hunting; advice on barriers or difficulties encountered whilst at work or in education; advice on benefit related issues; networking opportunities; and information about approaching statutory bodies (e.g. Access to Work), educational establishments and employers when difficulties arise. 

Our services include the provision of employment advice, information and/or peer support for the very many disabled people and their advisors or friends. Disabled people can seek advice and support from another disabled person. We feel this is very important as we have learnt that disabled people have a particular, specific, and real need to receive information from other disabled people about issues relating to education, employment and training.

In addition, ADP established the Disabled Entrepreneurs’ Network (DEN) to provide networking opportunities and information services for self-employed disabled people and those setting up and running their own small businesses. As well as providing networking opportunities, DEN acts as a signpost service for accessible and appropriate training and development to disabled entrepreneurs and assists in looking at strategic issues around disability, small business management and self-employment.
