New survey for disabled women in the Scottish workplace

Are you a disabled woman or a woman with a long-term health condition? We want to hear about your experiences of work in Scotland, to help improve women’s equality. 

Close the Gap has been conducting a research project on disabled women’s experiences of employment in Scotland. Now, we’re launching a survey to gather more data to build a richer picture about disabled women’s working lives.

This survey builds on from our emerging findings, and will be part of wider research, with the aim that the inequalities women with disabilities and long-term health conditions face are better understood, and tackled, by policymakers and employers.

Take the survey here.

Who can take part?

The survey is open to disabled women and women with long-term health conditions who live in Scotland.

What do we want to know?

We want to hear about your experiences in the workplace on range of key areas including:

• recruitment
• access to training and development
• workplace culture
• discrimination
• violence against women

All responses will be anonymous. Findings from the survey will be analysed and used to inform the development of the final research report.

There’s also a chance to enter a prize draw to win a shopping voucher for your involvement. Prizes are 1 x £150 voucher, 2 x £75 vouchers, and 3 x £50 vouchers.

You can take the online survey here.

If you require an accessible Word version of the survey, please email info@closethegap.org.uk

The survey closes on Thursday 13 February 2025.
