The next question I was going to ask was actually about voluntary placements. We did have feedback from the consultation that they were difficult to get and in a very narrow range—catering, maybe, or hospitality—and not wide enough. Is this your experience?

14 October 2024 , Equality and Social Justice Committee
Disability and employment: evidence session 6

Disability and employment: evidence session 6
Thank you very much. You mentioned the Welsh Government. What about Welsh Government initiatives such as the employment champions in Business Wales? How effective do you think they are?

Thank you. And what about Government interventions, then? How successful do you think they are, in particular, the UK Government's Access to Work and Disability Confident? What are your views on those?
