Firms told to reveal disabled staff numbers

Large companies are being urged to reveal how many disabled workers they employ under a drive to build more inclusive workforces.

The UK government published a voluntary framework to help firms support disabled staff.

Prime Minister Theresa May said: “I am committed to creating a society where we empower disabled people, celebrate their talents and enable them to achieve their hopes for the future.”

“We’ve taken steps in the right direction with almost a million more disabled people in work.”
