Warwick cooked delicately iced biscuits, a delicious bakewell tart and a wonderous three layered gateau; to ice the gateau he had to use a ladder. \u00a0However, his baking was demonstrably a cut above the rest including the very competitive Duncan Banatyne and quite rightly he won the competition.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday Ellie Simmonds of Team GB fame who won four gold medals in the Paralympics swimming appeared. \u00a0She has dwarfism. \u00a0She made flavoursome chocolate and orange scones, chocolate eclairs and a gateau. \u00a0She regularly bakes at home and for her team mates and again produced some outstanding baking that won her the competition.<\/p>\n<p>This programme was great to watch as it focused on everyone&#8217;s baking abilities and was level playing field in that respect. \u00a0The two shorter celebrities had to have raised staging to accommodate their shortened height but that was the only reasonable adjustment made. <\/p>\n<p>To a certain extent programme follows on from the outstanding achievements shown by the disabled athletes who took part in the 2012 Paralympics showing how anyone can excel at what they do and shine in their abilities given the chance.<\/p>\n<p>Employers should take more note of what disabled people can do rather than focusing on what they can&#8217;t do. \u00a0It is a shameful statistic that only one in ten disabled people are in work according to a report commissioned by the Equality and Human Rights Commission in 2012. One in six people who become disabled lose their job within the first year and that figure doubles after two years. \u00a0This is a real shame as the talent pool could be widened if employers could only overcome the barriers to providing support and their prejudice. \u00a0Legislation only goes some of the way in helping the situation. <\/p>\n<p>Most disabled people do not want to be singled out for special treatment and many prefer to keep quiet about their condition. \u00a0This is sometimes possible with disabilities that are not visible such as dyslexia and epilepsy, but it is not possible with an obvious physical disability. \u00a0 Therefore, the mindset of UK employers needs to be changed. \u00a0This can be done by having more disabled people demonstrating their talents in the spotlight as we have witnessed this week.<\/p>\n<p>If you need advice on disability issues please call Sandra Beale on 07762 771290.<br \/><a
