Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many of her Department's buildings fail to comply with its policies on disability access; and where those buildings are located.

There are no buildings that fail to comply with the Department’s policies on disability access to our services.

The Department takes our responsibility to ensure all our customers have access to our services without disadvantage very seriously. Every DWP office has been assessed to ensure that we are compliant with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010. Where suitable physical adaptations to buildings are not possible, the Department provides an alternative method of delivering our services where we are made aware that a customer has potential access issues, such as an appointment would be rearranged at a ground floor location or by a home visit.
