I found those comments very useful. If we are to report on this, it will probably be a matter of focusing on the OECD and the possible role of SOLAS or education and training boards in filling the gaps. Are there exemplars in the public or private sector who could become ambassadors for increasing the proportion of employers who engage and feel comfortable in the knowledge that they can deliver reasonable accommodation? Corporate social responsibility is being considered much more and there may be an opportunity to shoehorn in better practice through such channels. Is this being explored in the public sector or private sector?
