Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, 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, 72% of DECC respondents declaring a long-standing physical or mental health condition, illness, impairment or disability responded that they were treated fairly at work.

86% of DECC 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.

To note that the Civil Service People Survey asks the question “Do you have any long-standing physical or mental health condition, illness, impairment or disability?” The survey does not include a question that specifically identifies disability status.
