Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how businesses wanting to be involved with the Disability Confident Business Leaders Group can do so.
Disability Confident is about employers influencing other employers, sharing their evidence and experiences in employing disabled people with other employers to encourage them to also make the journey. This employer led approach will be reinforced by establishing a Business Leaders Group, with membership from Disability Confident employers across a wide range of sectors, sizes and geographic areas.
We are currently finalising the Terms of Reference for the group and will then begin seeking members. Any employers interested in being involved should email disabilityconfident.scheme@dwp.gsi.gov.uk, using Disability Confident Business Leaders Group in the subject heading and giving brief details of their organisation and any previous involvement.
