Baroness Sherlock (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 June 2026

Debate

Unemployment: People with Autism

Contribution

The noble and learned Lord asks an excellent question; I would love to hear after this who the employer is and see what we can learn from them. I would be especially interested to know whether that employer is a member of the Disability Confident scheme. The noble and learned Lord may know that that scheme encourages collaboration between employers, not only through peer-to-peer learning, but by specifically asking leading organisations to use their influence across their networks and supply chains. There may be things that we can learn from this employer, as well as ways that we can support them to take the message out. There is some really good news out there, and I would love to hear more about it.
