Thank you very much, Chair.

Okay. Thank you very much. Just a final question from me, if I may. What's your view of the Disability Confident scheme? Do you have experience of that? We've heard evidence that it is not working and that it's not good enough. So, what's your view on that…

Have you got the evidence on that?

Sorry. Do you have any evidence of that?

Thank you very much. I'm going to ask my questions in Welsh, just to ensure that you have the headsets on. The disability employment gap here in Wales is huge. It is more than 30 per cent here in Wales, more than it is in the UK. So, what has been happening…

Thank you very much. And finally, Isabel, is there anything from your members on what needs to change? We'll come to the wider picture, but anything quick that you feel.
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
Disability and employment: evidence session 12
Anything and everything. I think we're going to come back to this, in terms of next steps, but, I suppose, this is just linking in to what you said before and your experience.

Goodness me. Thank you so much for sharing that. Dee, what needs to work? What needs to change?

Disability and employment: evidence session 12
Thank you. And just my final question: what needs to change? We are here in this place where we're hearing different views, but it's really about how it works for you—that's the critical bit here. What needs to change? I'll start with Angharad, if I may. What…

Thank you very much. Isabel, just from you as well, are there any experiences from your members?

Disability and employment: evidence session 12
Thank you, Angharad. Thank you for sharing that. Dee, do you have any reflections on any of the Welsh Government support initiatives?
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
Disability and employment: evidence session 12
Goodness. Okay. Thank you.
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
Disability and employment: evidence session 12
Gosh. May I just follow up? Are you able just to share a little bit more? Are you happy just to say what you mean?
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
Disability and employment: evidence session 12
Lovely. All right. Thank you so much. My next question is around general Welsh Government initiatives. There are quite a few employment support initiatives, and I just wondered what your experiences were of those initiatives. Are they effective? Is there good…
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
Disability and employment: evidence session 12
Okay. Thank you. Really good points there. You're not the first to make it either, in terms of wanting it published. Isabel, have you any experience of the taskforce and outcomes from yourself?

Disability and employment: evidence session 12
Hello there. Thank you for joining us this afternoon. I've got questions around Government interventions, and it's really wanting to know your experiences of the various Government interventions. The first question is around the Welsh Government's disability…

Okay, thank you very much. Just one further question, if I may. Learning Disability Wales has called for a national job coaching strategy that would see disabled people being able to access supported employment support. They've also realised in terms of ages…

Yes.

Thank you. Could I just get some assurance that I've understood the numbers? You have 8,000 people learning. Is that just in Wales—8,000 across Wales?
