Chloe Smith – 2021 Comments on Helping the Disabled Back Into Work

The comments made by Chloe Smith, the Minister for Disabled People, on 29 December 2021.

Everyone deserves an equal opportunity to find a job they love and to progress in their career, but we know we must do more to help people with autism.

By testing this autism framework and offering new specialist training to our jobcentre staff we are helping to deliver more employment opportunities for those who would otherwise feel locked out, as we work towards seeing one million more disabled people in work by 2027.
