NORTH Swindon MP Justin Tomlinson set out the government s national disability strategy to help millions of disabled people benefit from more accessible housing, easier commuting, and better job prospects. Containing 100 immediate commitments and supported by £1.6 billion of funding, the strategy is focused on improving inclusion in the workplace, tackling the disability employment gap and making sure children with special educational needs and disabilities are at the heart of the strategy. The strategy includes consulting on introducing workforce reporting for businesses with more than 250 staff on the number of disabled people. This move is designed to improve inclusive practice across the UK’s biggest employers and builds on existing gender reporting requirements - Increasing the number of disabled people employed by MI5, MI6, GCHQ, the Reservists and the civilian military by 2030. MI6 has set an interim target of 9% by 2025.
