Written question asked by Caroline Nokes (Conservative) on Wednesday, 15 May 2024, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Friday, 17 May 2024. It was answered by Robert Courts (Conservative) on Thursday, 23 May 2024 on behalf of the Attorney General.


Attorney General: Disability

Question

To ask the Attorney General, what steps their Department is taking to support the Disability Confident scheme; how many officials in their Department work directly on supporting that scheme; what assessment they have made of the effectiveness of that work in supporting the (a) recruitment and (b) retention of disabled people in their Department; and what further steps they are taking to support their Department’s recruitment and retention of disabled people.

Answer

The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) receives its human resources shared service from the Government Legal Department (GLD). The GLD are signed up as Disability Confident and have progressed through the levels, achieving Disability Confident Leader (Level 3) status.

Please note that, excluding the GLD, I am responding on behalf of the AGO only, and not the departments superintended by myself and the Attorney General (the Crown Prosecution Service, HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate, and Serious Fraud Office).
