The detailed data from the Civil Service People Survey for each Government Department from 2014-2017 is provided as a table in Annex A. Most Government Departments have seen the proportion of disabled staff who feel they are treated fairly at work increase since 2014.

Each year the proportion of staff with a disability1 who declared they were treated fairly at work has been in the following ranges:

2014 - 60% to 81%

2015 – 61% - 81%

2016 – 60% - 92%

2017 - 65% to 84%

1. Survey respondents are classed as having a disability if they answer 'yes' to the question, 'Do you have any long-standing physical or mental health condition, illness, impairment or disability?'
