star this property answer text <p>Disability Confident is a pan-disability scheme that has been designed and developed by disabled people, disability organisations and employers. The scheme provides employers with the tools they need to recruit, retain and develop disabled employees. Embedded within the scheme are links to useful videos, information and a range of guidance.</p><p> </p><p>The scheme went live in a test and learn phase in July and was formally launched on 2nd November 2016 at the Recruitment Employment Confederation in London, with press releases and promotion through mainstream media, social media, Jobcentre Plus, disability organisations, and Disabled People's User Led Organisations. Further promotion of the scheme is being planned, including material in BSL.</p><p> </p><p>The aim of the scheme is to reach the widest possible number of employers, covering all sizes and sectors. This includes employers from the construction industry, a number of whom have already signed up. Officials from my Department have worked with representatives from the Construction Industry Council (CIC) to help the construction industry become Disability Confident.</p><p> </p><p>The Disability Confident scheme contains embedded links to information for employers about supporting staff with hearing loss, including references to Access to Work. The Access to Work scheme can assist where disabled people need support above and beyond employer-provided reasonable adjustments. Access to Work features specialist teams who provide a dedicated service to particular groups of customers, including deaf customers. The Government has committed to supporting an additional 25,000 people through Access to Work by 2021.</p>

star this property answer text <p>(a) Performing regular reviews of projects within a portfolio is an industry standard best practice activity. We currently have an active portfolio of circa 250 initiatives across DWP Digital. We are reviewing all of these regularly.</p><p> </p><p>(b) We regularly pause and accelerate projects based on business need and the need to sequence interdependencies across a complex systems estate. Given the agile delivery methods adopted by DWP, no projects are currently at risk of cancellation.</p><p> </p> more like this
