This will help to harness the talents of people with disabilities so they (we) can fulfil our potential at work.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">To do this, we need the help of the whole community – both those with a disability and those without. The toolkit will aim to engage, enable and empower both people with disabilities and allies to advocate for themselves and each other at work, so that we can create more disability-confident working environments throughout the scholarly communications industry.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"> __________________________________________</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Best wishes, </div><div dir="auto">Bernie </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
