Workers with disabilities have been the first to be fired as the economic crisis grew from the pandemic, but home-working has allowed some to thrive in their job.

The pandemic has changed how many of us working - perhaps forever. Workers with disabilities have been the first to be fired as the economic crisis grew, but home-working has allowed some to thrive in their job. We explore the impact Covid has had on some of the most vulnerable workers.

Aaron Heslehurst speaks to Jane Hatton who founded a website for disabled jobseekers and Elham Youssefian from the International Disability Alliance about the lessons learned from the pandemic.

Also in the show, we hear from the maker of the game-changing Cheetah blade prosthetic that's helping athletes in the Paralympics bring home the gold.
