To mark Employability Day we are joined in this podcast by Alistair Kerr, Director and Chair from BASE Scotland and David Cameron, Chief Executive of the Scottish Union of Supported Employment. We're going to explore the impact of the pandemic on supported employment and look to the future. The BASE Network supports disabled and disadvantaged people across the UK and Europe utilising sustainable procurement legislation supporting an inclusive growth strategy to transform the lives of disabled and disadvantaged people across Scotland. 

Alistair himself has held various board and chair positions within the three bodies since 2002 and he's been recognised by UK Government as a champion of the social model of disability. David has been the Chief Executive officer of the Scottish Union of Supported Employment since 2017. He has spent the majority of his career with a large voluntary sector organisation with responsibility for developing and delivering employment services, social enterprises and youth projects for people with disabilities. He worked with Scottish Government on the design of the Fair Start Scotland programme and recently participated in the expert group that supported the development of the Fairer Scotland Employment Action Plan.
