I was pleased to hear the witnesses touch on employment and they referred to the Employers for Change service, funded by the Government. I do not like suggesting we should follow a US model but I have spoken to an agency in New York that works with the disability sector there. It has brought in a quota for employers tendering for government contracts whereby 20% of their workforce have to have a disability. Is that something we should consider favourably here?
