Britain's disability employment gap shows limited progress, with 55% of disabled people now employed.

The disability employment gap in Britain has seen limited progress, with 55% of disabled people employed, up from 44% a decade ago but stagnant over the past five years. Local areas like Reading and Slough show improvement, but places like Bracknell Forest have seen the gap widen. Disability Rights UK and Scope call for a benefits system overhaul, advocating for a supportive approach over punitive measures, and emphasize the need for tailored employment support to address barriers like housing, social care, and healthcare.
