<p>Employers are not required to inform government whether or not they are using the
Voluntary Reporting Framework (VRF), which is intended primarily as a tool to foster
transparency and help employers drive cultural change at an organisational level.
However, in November 2019 we introduced a requirement that new and renewing Disability
Confident Leaders (Level 3) would record information on disability employment and
mental health using the VRF. As of 30<sup>th</sup> September 2021 there are 375 Disability
Confident Leaders, 251 of which have notified us they are recording information using
the VRF. The remaining Disability Confident Leaders will be expected to confirm that
they are recording information using the VRF when they reach their renewal dates.
We do not keep detailed information on the geographic location of these employers.</p><p>The
Cabinet Office's Disability Unit will be undertaking a consultation on disability
workforce reporting in the coming months, as announced in the National Disability
Strategy.</p>
