Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether she plans to assess the effectiveness of the Disability Confident scheme; and if she will make a statement.
DWP commissioned Ipsos MORI to conduct research with Disability Confident employers to understand the effect that signing up to the Disability Confident scheme has had on their recruitment and retention attitudes and practices with regards to disabled people. We published the results of this research on 13 November 2018
The survey suggests the scheme has had a significant impact on disability employment practices
