Recommendation 13

Deferred
Paragraph: 85
Require Level 2 Disability Confident employers to publish their percentage of disabled employees.
Conclusion
Employers at level 2 should also be required to publish the percentage of disabled employees at their organisation. This would send a much stronger signal to disabled people in the labour market about which employers employ disabled people and have supportive, accommodating working environments.
Government Response Summary
The government stated it is considering extending reporting requirements for Disability Confident, including for Level 2 employers, and will be informed by the findings of the Disability Workforce Reporting Consultation.

As part of the Disability Confident review, we gathered evidence and views about strengthening levels 2 and 3 of the scheme. At present, level 3 of the scheme does require employers to report on disability employment, mental health and wellbeing using the Voluntary Reporting Framework. Now that we can proceed with the scheme review, we are considering ways that we could demonstrate the impact of the scheme including extending the reporting requirement. We will be considering the findings from the Disability Workforce Reporting Consultation when they are published, which will help inform any changes to the reporting requirements for the Disability Confident scheme.
