The group directs the questions

The filmmakers interviewed employers and people with intellectual disabilities who already had jobs. They sent questions in advance to make interviews accessible. Group member Liam explained that they used an approach they knew helped them. He said: “Having planning meetings helped a lot”. [1]

A memorial fund supports the work

The project received support from the Liz Haverda Memorial Fund, established with contributions from her family and friends. Inclusion International’s April 2022 funding call offered a £5,000 grant for a UK group led by people with learning disabilities to create a lasting employment resource. [1]

A practical resource for employers

Pyramid described the finished film as a way to educate employers about inclusive workplaces. It explores existing practice in Leeds, removing barriers and the contribution of people with learning disabilities to teams. The film puts those workers and jobseekers in the role of explaining what needs to change.
