We are still waiting for the recommendations, but I will feed in my hon. Friend’s suggestion because I think it is a good one.
Daniel Francis (Bexleyheath and Crayford) (Lab)
One legacy of the previous Government was that it is easier to keep disabled people on an education, health and care plan until they are 25 because there is no adequate support to get them into work. Equally, other young disabled people became NEETs, because there is no adequate support to get them into work. Does my hon. Friend agree that any reforms need a cross-departmental approach to support disabled young people into work and ensure lifelong work opportunities for them?
Andrew Western
I agree with my hon. Friend: sometimes this can feel like a vicious circle for young people with disabilities, and we must ensure that we get this right.
