Disability Unit
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to Part One of the National Disability Strategy published on 28 July 2021, (a) whether the Disability Unit completed its review of the way the UK government engages with disabled people by December 2021 as planned and (b) with whom it has consulted to inform this review.
- Answer
-
Following the publication of the National Disability Strategy the Disability Unit is progressing the Disability Stakeholder Review, working closely with disabled people’s organisations and disability charities. People said that this review should enable a full opportunity for meaningful engagement with a wide range of stakeholders and as such the review will run through to Spring 2022, and we agree.
In December 2021, key disabled people’s organisations and disability charities were informed of the extension by letter. A copy of the letter was made available on gov.uk and also included on the Disability Unit’s social media.
