DWP pledges equality for disabled people.
(From Government News Network (Was Hermes-Government Press Releases))
] DEPARTMENT FOR WORK AND PENSIONS DRC 04 1 December 2006 DWP pledges equality for disabled people
By 4 December, all public sector bodies have to set out how they plan to promote equality for disabled people when the Disability Equality Duty comes into force.
The DWP has published its own Department- wide disability equality scheme today together with its gender equality scheme and a progress report on its race equality scheme. Each of its main businesses - The Pensions Service, the Disability and Carers Service, the Child Support Agency and Jobcentre Plus - are also publishing their own disability equality schemes. The Department's Ministers and its Permanent Secretary are today visiting DWP offices throughout the country in order to make their own personal contribution to the launch of the schemes.
John Hutton, the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, said:
"The new Disability Equality Duty is a ground-breaking step on the route to the Government's vision of achieving equality for disabled people by 2025. I am particularly pleased that my own Department is today publishing plans both for the Department as a whole and for its individual businesses".
"Discrimination of any sort is unacceptable. Yet the truth is that many disabled people still face barriers in all walks of life which prevent them from reaching their full potential. My Department will do all that it can to enable them to do so".
