Aerobility changes lives by providing anyone, with any disability with access to the magic and wonder of flight. We do this because taking the controls of an aircraft drives a focus on capability and encourages our flyers to ask the question ‘If I can fly an aeroplane, what else can I do?’

This makes everything else in life feel that little bit more achievable, whilst offering the ultimate feeling of freedom and escape from restrictions of disability.

Aerobility represents the needs of those living with disability in to aviation and is recognised as the leading expert in disabled flying.

The Disability Employment Charter is a call for the government to act. It proposes a set of vital measures that, if implemented in a concerted manner, would substantially shift the dial on disability employment. By setting out clearly and simply the actions needed, it provides government with a road map for change as it develops the next phases of its National Disability Strategy. The Charter consists of nine areas of action. Each of the nine areas contain several specific asks that we believe will help engender significant improvements to disabled people’s employment outcomes.

We also believe that if the government implements the measures the Charter outlines, this will not just level up disabled people’s employment opportunities, increase disabled people’s job satisfaction, and reduce disability pay gaps, but it will also benefit the taxpayer and support the UK’s post-pandemic recovery by providing employers with the widest possible talent pool and addressing skills shortages.

The founding members of the Disability Employment Charter are Disability Rights UK, Disability@Work, the University of Warwick, the DFN Charitable Foundation, Leonard Cheshire, Scope, Shaw Trust Foundation, and UNISON. The range of organisations that have signed the Charter demonstrates the widespread support for the proposals the Charter outlines regarding the action the government needs to take.
