The Scottish Government has said it will at least halve the disability employment gap. The disability employment gap is the difference between disabled people and non-disabled people in jobs. There are fewer disabled people who are working.

To do this we need to review our plans and policies. This goal is a long term one. COVID-19 has made things more difficult. It could make things more unequal. We need to focus on improving support for disabled people.

There has been progress in reducing the disability employment gap. However, it remains large. We know we need to keep trying.

We believe supported employment is important in helping people become employed. It will help halve the disability employment gap in Scotland.
