This action plan supports the aspirational target to increase the representation of people with disability employed in the public sector to 5% and support inclusive work culture.
All agencies are responsible for working towards the aspirational target (actions are listed in full in the action plan).
Achieving the target
Increasing the representation of people with disability employed in the sector requires sustained effort, a different way of doing things and stronger accountability.
The following resources help agencies to build understanding and support employment opportunities for people from diverse backgrounds.
Tracking progress
In September 2024 the representation of people with a disability in public sector employment was 1.7%.
This plan includes an action for the Public Sector Commission to work with stakeholders to review the definition of disability. This work is currently underway.
