§ Dr. HowellsA national leaflet has been produced for employers and individuals describing the help that is available. Officials are discussing with the Employment Service how the leaflet can be best used in Jobcentres.
The members of the Task Force were drawn from organisations of and for disabled people, business (including small business), local government and trade unions with the intention of forming a group with the necessary breadth of knowledge, skills and experience of disability to report to Government on how best to secure comprehensive, enforceable civil rights for disabled people, taking account of the interests of all interested parties.
