We also receive regular representations from the Disability Charities Consortium and other disabled people’s organisations. These reviews and representations have led to recently announced improvements, including requiring Disability Confident Leader (Level 3) employers to use the Voluntary Reporting Framework to publicly report on their disability employment.</p> answering member printed Baroness Stedman-Scott question first answered 07/01/2020 12:53:59 answering member 4174 label Biography information for Baroness Stedman-Scott
