<p>In the last 12 months there has been an increase of 238,000 disabled people in
work. That is really positive, but there is more to do.</p><p> </p><p>We have been
very clear that the gap between the employment rates of disabled people and non-disabled
people remains too big and have committed to halving it.</p><p> </p><p>Government
cannot achieve this ambition alone so we are working closely with disabled people,
their organisations, employers and employment support providers to develop our strategy
to enable more disabled people to get into, remain in and progress in work.</p><p>
</p><p>The Disability Confident Campaign, which actively promotes the Access to Work
scheme, is key to supporting employers in working with Government to halve the disability
employment gap.</p>
