Employment Schemes: Disability
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps her Department is taking to help support disabled people in the workplace.
Answered by Liz Kendall
It is vital that workplaces are inclusive so disabled people have the same opportunities to get work, stay in work and progress in their careers.
That is why I have asked Sir Charlie Mayfield, the former boss of John Lewis, to lead an independent review into what more employers and Government can do together to support disabled people in work.
His interim review was published last month, and his final report will be in the summer.
