In mid-July 2021 Y.O.U began working in partnership with The
Scottish Union of Supported Employment and The Public Social Partnership. Dr Danielle Farrel and Y.O.U have worked in partnership with SUSE since then.
 
SUSE was previously the lead partner in the Disability Employment Gap Public Social Partnership (PSP) which has been commissioned by the Scottish Government. A PSP is a strategic partnering arrangement which gives the third sector the opportunity to design future public services by trying and piloting new ideas and approaches. We aim to contribute to the ambition set by the Scottish Government in The Fairer Scotland for Disabled People –Employment Action Plan, to half the Disability Employment Gap

We will develop and deliver a range of innovative projects which enable employers to address the gaps in their knowledge and expertise and improve the employment prospects of disabled people. We hope to achieve a lasting culture change in our workplaces by addressing employer concerns regarding their legal responsibilities, embedding equality and diversity
in workplace cultures and sharing our knowledge of reasonable
adjustments and available support – to enable disabled people to take up and sustain paid employment.
 
Y.O,U  currently chairs SUSE's Lived Experience Network and is currently working with SUSE’s existing partners as well as external organisation as appropriate to identify people with lived experience who they either employ or support who are willing to join the network and work together to improve things for disabled people in employment.
