<p>The Government is currently developing a new Employment Strategy for disabled people and those with health conditions which will be published before the end of the year. The strategy will recognise the crucial role that employers have to play in enabling disabled people and people with health conditions to realise their employment aspirations. It will seek to improve the support available to all employers (including those taking advantage of the Youth Contract) to recruit, retain and enable people with disabilities and health conditions (including mental health conditions) to progress. Changing attitudes and removing stigmas is central to this. We have publicly signalled our commitment to the Time to Change (TTC) initiative and are currently progressing the associated action plan with relevant TTC representatives.</p><p>At the Disability Employment Conference, on 18 July 2013, the then Minister for Disabled People launched the Disability Confident Campaign. The two year campaign takes forward initiatives to support businesses to become more disability confident at recruiting, retaining and</p><p>enabling disabled people to progress as well as informing employers of what support is available. This campaign will include nine regional events held across the United Kingdom at which employers are invited to contribute and share good practice. The first event is in Birmingham on 21 November. The role of employers in promoting employment of disabled people and breaking down stigma and barriers is central to the Disability Confident Campaign.</p>
