The pilots will enable us to gain an understanding of whether the passport reduces the need for assessments where the customer’s needs remain the same, and if it empowers the passport holder to have conversations with future employers about adjustments. Following an evaluation, if the pilots prove successful, the passport will be made available to support all people with disabilities and health conditions providing a transferable record of adjustments and reduce the need for unnecessary assessments.</p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 29/09/2021 11:31:37 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
