LIFE WITHOUT BARRIERS
How to use this booklet
This document was written by Life
Without Barriers in Easy English.
We use pictures to explain some ideas.
This document explains why Life
Without Barriers wants to give more jobs
to people with disability.
Life Without Barriers provides support
1
services for:
- people with disability
- older people
- families, and
- children,
so they can have live life the way they
want to.
We know that having a job allows people
to have a better life and feel good about
themselves.
Life Without Barriers believes everyone
has the right to get a job, if they choose
to.
But, people with disability often find it
2
LIFE WITHOUT BARRIERS
harder to get a job than people without a
disability.
In fact, the number of people with
disability who cannot find a job is two
times higher than people who don’t have
a disability
We want to change that.
We want to make it easier for people
with disability to find a job they enjoy.
To help do this, Life Without Barriers has
made a promise to support people with
disability to work with us.
We call this promise ‘Our Commitment’.
OUR COMMITMENT
Life Without Barriers will promote
3
JOBS
all the great things that people with
disability bring to any workplace.
Life Without Barriers will give more
jobs to people with disability.
By the year 2022, 12% of all new
people we hire will be people with
a disability.
Life Without Barriers will
encourage other companies to
also give more people with
disability jobs.
Life Without Barriers will talk to
other organisations about old
ideas that may stop them from
giving jobs to people with
disability.

If a person with disability would
like to work with Life Without
Barriers, we will try very hard to
help them to achieve that.
Life Without Barriers will talk to
them about what they need, and
what we can do better, so they feel
comfortable and happy at work.
Life Without Barriers will always
focus on a person’s strengths, not
their disability, when deciding if
they should do a job.
Life Without Barriers will continue
to find ways to improve how we
work to make it easier for people
with disability.
