Say your bit! Government Consultation on Work Capability Assessment

shadow66

I realise these proposals have only just come out and it will take time to digest and analyse them; but nowhere in any of the material published about this issue, do the Govt say where these hundreds of thousands of mythical jobs and disability-friendly employers are going to come from.

Yes there are some work from home jobs, but not enough on the scale they are talking about, to get the numbers of disabled back into work.  Of the ones that do allow it, most are hybrid, so you would be expected to go into the workplace at least 3 days a week.  

Then there is the issue of the attitudes of employers; it's already difficult enough finding an employer who is going to be accommodating (even though it's the law) and understanding. How are the Govt proposing to enforce companies to take people with disabilities on?

The numbers do not add up.

True @shadow66 many of the work from home jobs I've seen online are either for working in care homes, or are work from home, but with some days in the office.  So unless they vet every vacancy classed as work from home, things are going to get very messy.
