Welsh Parliament Equality and Social Justice Committee publish report on the disability equality gap
The Welsh Parliament Equality and Social Justice Committee has published the results of its inquiry into the disability employment and payment gap. The report, 'Anything’s Achievable with the Right Support: Tackling the Disability Employment Gap', concludes that ' widespread misconceptions and negative attitudes persist in the workplace with regards, for example, to the costs associated with reasonable adjustments. These need to be challenged at every opportunity'.
The inquiry took evidence from a wide range of organisations including Disability Wales and RNIB Cymru, and gives seven recommendations of actions to be taken by Welsh Government.
