Mr. Donal Swan:

I might just jump in briefly. Other organisations also have functional importance in the socioeconomic area. We must build on the importance of the access piece for individuals to take claims. We have heard this from other organisations and from our membership. As my colleague has said, gender goes across all forms of discrimination in society and intersects with it. In terms of having information and access, it is important to be able to rely upon advice, advocacy and support in taking claims. An important element that the Bill should include is allowing organisations and trade unions to be able to support people in taking claims.
