Questionnaire
Insight: Work fit for all - disability, health and the experience of negative treatment in the British workplace (27th November 2008)
The number of people claiming incapacity benefits in Britain has more than doubled over the last 20 years. By comparison with other countries, Britain has large numbers of disabled people and people with long-term illnesses, and proportionately fewer of these people are employed. The Government intends to reverse this trend and move more disabled people and people with long-term illnesses into employment, as outlined in its plans for the new equality bill and the welfare reform green paper. This research shows that disabled people and people with long-term illnesses are more likely to perceive themselves as subject to negative treatment at work, and this has implications for Government policy.
