I do think that there is much more awareness and support for disabled people in this country nowadays than there was in the past. I believe society has moved on and the recognition of the values and contribution which disabled people can make in the workplace and in sport has increased significantly. The 2012 Olympics was a catalyst on the sporting side, but the increased employment rate of disabled people and the ‘Disability Confident’ campaign have been really helpful as well.
Best wishes
