The MP for Hastings and Rye is inviting local businesses to a Disability Confident event in July so they can learn about the benefits of employing disabled people.

MP for Hastings and Rye, Amber Rudd, has undertaken a challenge to make the employers in the local area more inclusive, encouraging them to sign up to the Disability Confident scheme which helps employers open up their workforce to disabled people.

Today Amber Rudd has committed to making her office Disability Confident and has signed up to the Department for Work and Pension’s nationwide scheme.
