PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Equality and Human Rights Commission: Recruitment (11 July 2016)

I have not had any meetings with the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) to discuss its employment of disabled people.

The Office for Disability Issues has frequent communication with the EHRC who are observers at the bi-annual Fulfilling Potential Forum that I chair which is attended by a range of disability-related stakeholders. Officials from the Office for Disability Issues are also in regular contact with the EHRC in relation to the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabled People, attending quarterly Treaty Monitoring review meetings.
