Over the last five decades, the principle which underpins policy for the employment of disabled people has remained constant, the majority of disabled people are fully employable on their own merits in competition with non-disabled workers, providing that prejudice and discrimination are overcome. However, the mechanisms by which that principle is put into practice have altered radically in the 50 years since the Disabled Persons (Employment) Act 19441 came into effect. A social obligation, at one time discharged by government - to oversee the translation of the principle into practice, and to monitor its effects, has given way to individual responsibility for action and to self-policing. In short, responsibility for achieving a fair share of employment for disabled people has passed from the state to the individual.
