Disability should never be a barrier to success - at work or in life. That’s why Minister Sir Stephen Timms joined Business Disability Forum’s annual conference to explore how best to champion disability inclusion and make it part of business as usual.

Supporting working parents isn't just right, it's vital for our economy. Today we've launched a landmark review of parental leave. The current system isn't working for too many families – 1 in 3 dads can't afford to take leave when their child is born.
