Mr. Sean Doran:

The Deputy referred to the fantastic report by the NDA. It considered websites but not internal systems. Whether an employer's in-house software, HR, clocking in and out, email and document access systems are accessible is not being checked. People who go for these work placements focus on their disabilities rather than their abilities because the systems that are in place are not inherently accessible. If an employer concentrates on having inclusive software and making sure the in-house systems are accessible, that allows people in employment to stay longer. Those people will not do an internship and then decide it was an awful experience they do not want to repeat. It allows them prove they can work in these environments. There is an onus on employers to ensure their in-house software and systems are accessible. There are no reports monitoring that aspect currently; it is mainly employers' external websites that are monitored.
