<p> </p><p>The table below provides a summary of the performance results for non-Senior
Civil Service staff for whom the DCLG process applied, where disability has been declared,
and whose performance markings have been entered into the HR database:</p><p> </p><p>
</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><em>Number of staff</em></p></td><td><p><em>Exceptional</em></p></td><td><p><em>Good</em></p></td><td><p><em>Development</em></p><p><em>Needed</em></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Not
Disabled</p></td><td><p>217</p></td><td><p>824</p></td><td><p>94</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Disabled</p></td><td><p>7</p></td><td><p>45</p></td><td><p>15</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Due to changes in methodology in the manner in which such assessments
are undertaken, these figures are not comparative with those given to the hon. Member
in the answer to her of 4 November 2013, <em>Official Report</em>, Column 22W.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The small sample sizes may mean the results are not statistically
significant. We will be undertaking further analysis of the wider performance outcomes
across both performance years and all protected characteristics. We will consider
whether action is required to address any clear findings.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The
Department provides a reasonable adjustments service, which has recently been subject
to a review, to allow staff to ensure that a person with a disability is not put at
a substantial disadvantage compared to non-disabled persons generally, who work under
the same conditions. The Department’s Disability Champion also continues to work closely
with the Disability Staff Network in raising awareness of disability issues to the
wider Department.</p><p> </p>
