The Commission's first Triennial Review: How Fair is Britain? (2010) identified an urgent need to close the employment gap for disabled people. Over 1 in 5 adults in Britain today are disabled, yet only half are likely to be in work. This report looks at the work aspirations and experiences of disabled people in order to identify new solutions. It draws on a wide range of evidence including recent research, complaints to the Commission's Helpline, consultations with employers and, qualitative focus groups with disabled people. The report discusses the scale of the challenge and the impact of current disability and work remedies. It considers what's working well for individuals and businesses and what might work better to make the most of the abilities and potential of disabled employees. It argues that a radical change in attitudes and practices is needed to really improve the working lives of disabled people, calling for the development of open and productive relationships between disabled people and their employers. The report explores the barriers created by traditional ways of working and the potential of flexibility and re-configured work to support innovative workplace delivery of the social model of disability.

This guidance, developed by the Equality and Human Rights Commission and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, outlines how employers should respond if an employee is affected by domestic abuse. Employers have a responsibility to provide all staff with a safe and effective work environment. In addition, introducing an effective workplace policy and practice will be a good investment to retain skilled and experienced staff, thereby increasing their commitment to their employer. The guidance is designed to enable employers to develop a domestic abuse workplace policy and provides tips for managers on how to manage and support an employee experiencing domestic abuse. These small steps can include giving an employee time off to consult a lawyer, diverting telephone calls, keeping a record of incidents of abuse in the workplace, providing a safe car park space or referring employees to appropriate support services.
