Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 7
Thanks very much and prynhawn da. We’ve been told in previous sessions that it’s what happens in the education system that is the beginning of creating the disability employment gap, and I think some of that has been covered today. So, what do you think? Do…

Thank you. And then, lastly, what would you say are the key interventions that the Welsh Government should take on in order to address the disability employment gap? What's most important, do you think, that it should do now?

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
Okay. Thanks very much. The Welsh Government and the Equality and Human Rights Commission have recently published separate guidance on remote working. So, I'd like to really know what your view is on promoting remote working as an option to support disabled…

So, some good initiatives but maybe too small, and others that are UK that aren't—

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
Thank you very much. You mentioned the Welsh Government. What about Welsh Government initiatives such as the employment champions in Business Wales? How effective do you think they are?
14 Hydref 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
Thank you. And what about Government interventions, then? How successful do you think they are, in particular, the UK Government's Access to Work and Disability Confident? What are your views on those?

Are you asked to train often, your organisation?

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
Helo, prynhawn da. We've been told on the committee that it's often employers' attitudes towards disabled people that causes the difficulties, particularly people with learning disabilities. So, I wondered if you could say what more could be done to change…

Cwestiynau i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid a’r Gymraeg
5. Pa drafodaethau y mae'r Ysgrifennydd Cabinet wedi'u cael gyda Llywodraeth y DU ynghylch pryd y bydd cyllid ar gael i dalu iawndal i bobl yng Nghymru y mae'r sgandal gwaed heintiedig yn effeithio arnynt? OQ61668

Datganiad a Chyhoeddiad Busnes
Hoffwn i ofyn am ddatganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg ynghylch y cyhoeddiad gan Cymwysterau Cymru yr wythnos diwethaf bod TGAU Iaith Arwyddion Prydain wedi'i hatal bellach. Rwy'n gwybod bod y TGAU yn mynd i fod ar gael o 2026 yn wreiddiol, ac yna…

Yes, very impressive—a small number, but very impressive, isn't it? Yes. Thank you very much. The academics also raised issues about a digital skills gap and the impact that that has on employment opportunities for young disabled people. What are you doing…

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 5
Yes, right. Thank you very much. Did you have anything to add?

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 5
These initiatives, like Disability Confident, you see as being effective.

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 5
Yes.

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 5
Thank you very much. In a previous session, academics told us that addressing educational inequalities for disabled people would have an impact on the disability employment gap. So, to what extent do you think that educational inequalities are having an…

Thank you. And then the other question I wanted to ask—again, which you've already referred to—is on the guidance on hybrid working. How are you going to measure that, evaluate it, to see how effectively it's being used by employers?

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
So, basically, what you're telling us is there are lots of mechanisms there that could be used without incorporation. Although, obviously, we would support incorporation, but there is so much that could be done as it is.

Thank you. Good afternoon. You've already mentioned the general equality duty and the specific duties for Wales, and you do feel that they can be used to address the employment gap and the disability pay gap. So, how do you envisage that actually working in…
