Thanks very much. Just finally from me, I wondered if you could tell us what measures are in place to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the services you provide and whether there are any data gaps that would help you target your services even more…

Thank you. I'm now going to pass on to Jane Dodds, to find out a bit more.

It would certainly be a major challenge as we don't have more than one local authority who's a Disability Confident leader, which is the only meaningful kitemark that is relevant, because all the rest is ticking a box and nobody actually checking up on your…

Okay. Thank you. Arthur Beechey.

So, the main reason that programme folded—was that because of the loss of the European money and it going back to the UK Government?

Welcome back to the Equality and Social Justice Committee's inquiry into disability and employment. I'd like to welcome Andrea Wayman, chief executive officer of ELITE Supported Employment, and Arthur Beechey, chief executive officer of Agoriad Training and…

I think that's all from me, but if there's anything else, perhaps we can correspond with you. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you very much for your appearance. We'll send you a transcript and you can obviously come back to us if there's a problem. We'll…

That would be very useful to know. We'll obviously ask the Cabinet Secretary when we meet her later on. Otherwise, you said yourselves as an organisation set your own KPIs and targets. Are you able to share those with us so that we can see—? In relation…

Meanwhile, Careers Wales, I was particularly keen to find out a little bit more about the inclusive apprenticeship disability action plan, which is now nearly 10 years old. No, sorry, I beg your pardon, it's not 10 years old. It's nearly six years old…

Thank you. You mentioned, Mr Mills, that you have five key objectives in your team. Is that something that you'd be able to share with us? You don't need to say it right now, but if you could send it to us, that would be great.

Very good. Why do you think all the others have just not engaged with this?
21 Hydref 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 9
Thank you. We were told earlier by one of our witnesses earlier this afternoon that there's only one Disability Confident leader amongst all the 22 local authorities in Wales. Which one is that?
21 Hydref 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 9
Okay. There are various questions that we may need to follow up outside the meeting.

It doesn't always lead on to placements, though, does it?

Before I move on to Sioned Williams, I wonder if I could just ask Nerys Bourne: the brochure that was sent to us in advance of this meeting talks about the services that Careers Wales provides, including support for schools, colleges, training providers and…

Fine. Mick Antoniw, would you like to come in at this point?

Okay. But sticking with the disability employment gap, how do we actually improve our performance generally across society, of ensuring that every disabled person who is able to work has that dignity of work?
