Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what proportion of (a) disabled and (b) all other staff in his Department responded that they were treated fairly at work in the most recent Civil Service People Survey.

In the 2014 People Survey, 60% of DCLG respondents declaring a long-standing physical or mental health condition, illness, impairment or disability responded that they were treated fairly at work.

85% of DCLG respondents declaring that they did not have a long-standing physical or mental health condition, illness, impairment or disability responded that they were treated fairly at work.

These figures are broadly in line with the Civil Service average.

We work closely with the Department's 'Disability Network' to promote awareness and understanding of disability related issues in the workplace. We also provide individual support, help and guidance to disabled staff on 'disability' and 'reasonable adjustment' related issues; we do this in conjunction with our delivery partners at the Department for Work and Pensions.
