Work: Access for all

We look at workplaces that have welcomed people with learning disabilities on to the team.

La Casa de Carlota isn鈥檛 like most workplaces. The design studio, based in Barcelona, Spain, employs creatives who have intellectual disabilities, autism and schizophrenia.

Working together with non-disabled colleagues, they produce striking graphics for campaigns and packaging, as well as original works of art. This isn鈥檛 a government-backed scheme to help out a disadvantaged group, but a winning formula that is helping the studio forge a unique brand.

In this programme we look at two companies who have realised there is strength in neurodiversity and hear from Natalie Duo from the charity Mencap. The vast majority of people with learning disabilities are unemployed, so how can other businesses can follow suit?
