"Social Work Supported Employment Service helped me to realise that we can employ disabled people. We gained a Scottish Business Diversity Award as a result of a nomination from the team. They believed that we provided an excellent example of recruiting and retaining people with disabilities. They have provided us with excellent advice and support."
