People with invisible disabilities need better support in the workplace.

Living and working through the pandemic has been challenging for everyone, but for employees living with invisible disabilities or conditions it has been especially difficult.

Today, supported by Janssen-Cilag Limited, we're calling on companies to pledge their commitment to inclusivity.

We’re calling on you to get your company involved.

I’m in – I want more inclusivity

Making it easier to talk about the invisible

NEDIV Andy

Andy, Living with Ulcerative Colitis

“Living with Colitis hasn’t been easy – I’ve been admitted to hospital several times and gone through many different medications over the years. But my line manager was so supportive when I told them about my condition. I’ve been offered a range of options to help manage at work, including flexible working, working from home, and taking time off for hospital visits. All of these adjustments have given me the reassurance and comfort of knowing that if I were to have an ‘off day’, I’m well supported and can carry out my role in full, with hardly any disruption.”

It can be difficult to speak up about something that can’t be seen

Living with an invisible disability or condition means your workplace needs can easily be overlooked. People can face misunderstanding and sometimes discrimination. We’re working with companies and all their staff to ensure everyone – on both sides of the conversation – has the confidence, tools and resources to talk about invisible conditions, making sure the right support is in place.

There are two simple ways to get involved and support people with invisible conditions at work:
