Recommendation 21

21 Acknowledged

Enshrining the right to try work in legislation is an important trust-building step.

Conclusion
Enshrining the right to try work in legislation will be a small but important and worthwhile measure that could provide greater clarity and even reduce levels of mistrust by putting the matter beyond doubt. This is just one step, however, in the many that will need to be taken to seriously rebuild trust in the system. We will carefully scrutinise the Government’s progress on this throughout the Parliament. (Conclusion, Paragraph 142) Pathways to Work
Government Response Summary
The government confirmed it continues to develop reforms, including introducing the "right to try guarantee," and is considering consultation responses to set out detailed plans in due course.
Government Response Acknowledged
HM Government Acknowledged
We continue to develop wider reforms set out in the Green Paper—including introducing the right to try guarantee—to give people with health conditions and disabilities the security to try work. We are now considering responses to the consultation as we further develop proposals, and we will set out our plans in due course.
