Employment rates amongst disabled people reveal one of the most significant inequalities in the UK today, with less than half (48%) of disabled people are in employment compared to 80% of the non-disabled population. This consultation paper sets out the nature of the problem and consults on how disabled people and people with long-term health conditions can be best supported to get into, and to stay in, work. The paper highlights why change is needed by employers, the welfare system, and health and care providers. Chapters cover: tackling the inequalities of the disability employment gap; supporting disabled people and those with long term conditions into work; assessments for benefits for people with health conditions; supporting employers to recruit with confidence and create healthy workplaces; and supporting employment by providing health and high quality care for all. The final chapter summarises the government commitments to act and their plans to: change perceptions and culture around health, work and disability; hold a wide-ranging consultation around the issues and proposals in this green paper; and sets out their action plan for the next 10 years. Areas for action include ensuring that disabled people and people with long-term health conditions have equal access to labour market opportunities; more effectively integrate the health and social care and welfare systems to help people remain in sustainable employment; parity of mental and physical health; and changing cultures and attitudes across society. A summary of consultation questions is included in the appendices. (Edited publisher abstract)

This draft framework, which is being issued for consultation, sets out what those planning, delivering and monitoring local primary care and mental health services need to do to improve services for users experiencing mental illness and distress, and their relatives and carers, from Black and minority ethnic communities. There is clear evidence that these users and their relatives and carers experience inequitable services and outcomes. The document focuses on achieving improvements in three generic aspects of delivery (information, appropriate and responsive services and community engagement). These are termed the ‘building blocks’ as they are fundamental to delivering improvements in the outcomes and experiences of Black and minority ethnic users and their carers and relatives. The document then looks in detail at three specialist areas (suicide, pathways to care and acute inpatient care) of particular concern. Actions needed to be taken to comply with statutory obligations and assist in meeting existing national targets and other standards and commitments are set out for each ‘building block’ and for each specialist area.
