answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2019 answer text <p>The government has committed to protect workers’ rights as the United Kingdom (UK) leaves the European Union (EU). This includes the requirements to ensure health and safety in the workplace. The UK already has one of the best records on health and safety at work among member states of the EU.</p><p> </p><p>During the implementation period of the Withdrawal Agreement, the UK will no longer be a member state of the EU. However, common rules will remain in place until the end of the period. This will include rules on health and safety at work.</p><p> </p><p>In the event of a ‘no deal’ outcome with the EU, the provisions of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 will continue to apply, alongside the requirements of the health and safety regulations made under the Act. There will need to be minor technical fixes to a small number of requirements. These are set out in the Health and Safety (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018. The Regulations will ensure that the requirements continue to work if there is no deal with the EU by exit day.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, work is going on to ensure that there continues to be an effective regulatory regime for the safe management of chemicals after exit day. This will ensure that requirements established through EU regulations will, with suitable fixes for a UK-only situation, continue to work here in a ‘no deal’ scenario.</p><p> </p><p>This action, taken together with the protections provided by the existing health and safety framework, will ensure that standards are maintained in a ‘no deal’ scenario.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 07/02/2019 16:33:41 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2018 answer text <p>The most recent data from ONS for which comparisons can be made shows that the number of disabled people in work reached 3.5 million in 2017, an increase of 600,000 since 2013.</p><p>The Government is committed to building a society in which disabled people and those with health conditions are able to, wherever possible, fulfil their potential and work. That is why we have made the ambitious commitment to see one million more disabled people in work by 2027 and are taking decisive action across the welfare system, workplace and health sector.</p><p>For example we have recently launched the Health-Led employment trials in the Sheffield City Region and the West midlands Combined Authority. These trials will help us find out whether a modified ‘Individual Placement and Support’ (IPS) model can help people with physical and/or mental health conditions get into, and stay in, sustainable paid employment. They will also allow us to gather the evidence needed to help develop more effective employment support services and make sure they are accessible and inclusive to anyone who wants to benefit from them.</p><p>We are also investing over £1.1million across Coventry and Warwickshire until March 2020 to provide Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services with employment advisers (EAs) as part of a £39 million initiative to provide EAs in IAPT services in 40% of Clinical Commissioning Groups across England. IAPT services provide psychological therapies to people with common mental health problems.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 06/07/2018 12:58:42 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
