Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 6
Helo, prynhawn da. We've been told on the committee that it's often employers' attitudes towards disabled people that causes the difficulties, particularly people with learning disabilities. So, I wondered if you could say what more could be done to change…

Yes, very impressive—a small number, but very impressive, isn't it? Yes. Thank you very much. The academics also raised issues about a digital skills gap and the impact that that has on employment opportunities for young disabled people. What are you doing…

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 5
Yes, right. Thank you very much. Did you have anything to add?

These initiatives, like Disability Confident, you see as being effective.

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 5
Thank you very much. In a previous session, academics told us that addressing educational inequalities for disabled people would have an impact on the disability employment gap. So, to what extent do you think that educational inequalities are having an…

Thank you. And then the other question I wanted to ask—again, which you've already referred to—is on the guidance on hybrid working. How are you going to measure that, evaluate it, to see how effectively it's being used by employers?

So, basically, what you're telling us is there are lots of mechanisms there that could be used without incorporation. Although, obviously, we would support incorporation, but there is so much that could be done as it is.

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Thank you. Good afternoon. You've already mentioned the general equality duty and the specific duties for Wales, and you do feel that they can be used to address the employment gap and the disability pay gap. So, how do you envisage that actually working in…

Yes, thank you. You’ve mentioned apprentices a few times already here this afternoon. What impact have the Welsh Government’s financial incentives had to encourage employers to take on disabled people as apprentices? Are they effective, or are there any…

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 3
Yes. Thank you. In your 2022 report, you said that digital skills present a huge barrier for disabled people, so could you explain why that is an issue and what actions are needed?

Anabledd a chyflogaeth: sesiwn dystiolaeth 3

Diolch. Prynhawn da. I wanted to ask you about education inequalities, and academics have told us that addressing educational inequalities would have an effect on the disability employment gap. What actions do you think are needed to address those…

So, any automatic penalties under the Water (Special Measures) Bill, you would expect those to be dealt with—? Where would you see them going?

Craffu ar waith Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru ar faterion cyfoes
Thank you. And the funds that you collect now from current fixed monetary penalties, where do they actually go? Do they go to NRW, or do they go to the Welsh consolidated fund?
