The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced a new initiative aimed at increasing employment opportunities for people with invisible disabilities,<\/strong> such as fibromyalgia, ADHD, and other long-term health conditions. According to Express.co.uk<\/a>, the plan is part of the Get Britain Working White Paper, which seeks to reduce economic inactivity and improve job accessibility for those with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DWP Minister Alison McGovern<\/strong> emphasized that the initiative is backed by \u00a3240 million in investment and aims to help more disabled individuals<\/a> secure sustainable employment. She explained that the government\u2019s long-term target is to achieve an 80% employment rate, ensuring that more people with disabilities have access to suitable job opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The government has pledged to build on the findings of the Buckland Review of Autism Employment, expanding its focus to all forms of neurodiversity in the workplace. McGovern <\/strong>stressed the importance of tailoring support to individual needs and ensuring access to specialist services that integrate employment <\/a>and healthcare systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To ensure individuals receive the right support at the right time, the government is introducing a range of specialist initiatives designed to help people with disabilities stay in work and re-enter employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Disabled people and people with health conditions, including those with fibromyalgia, ADHD, and other invisible conditions, are a diverse group, so access to the right work and health support, in the right place, at the right time, is key,”<\/em> McGovern explained.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The government has outlined several key measures to improve access to employment, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We therefore have a range of specialist initiatives to support individuals to stay in work and get back into work, including those that join up employment and health systems,”<\/em> McGovern added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With these measures, the government aims to reduce the barriers that prevent people with disabilities from securing stable employment, ensuring they receive the right resources to succeed in the workforce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
