The Equality and Social Justice Committee’s has published an Area of Research Interest (ARI) on the Disability Employment Gap. The Committee is interested in exploring what action government and employers can take to increase employment opportunities for disabled people and reduce the disability pay and employment gaps. In particular the Committee would like to know if there are examples of successful interventions or best practice that could be applied in Wales to increase participation and narrow the disability employment gap.
Academics at all career stages, research institutions, and experts are encouraged to register their interest in the ARI, add their existing research in the topic areas to the ARI repository, provide their insights, and suggest questions that the Committee could ask the Welsh Government.
Those who respond to the survey will be entered onto a database of experts who may be contacted by Senedd staff to help them support the Committee to scrutinise the Welsh Government in this areas of interest. There is no need to contact committee staff directly, as they have access to all information you enter on the database.
The Committee will use the information gathered through the ARI repository to scope and support its future work.
