Foreword by the C&AG
I am pleased to publish our first Disability Equality Scheme and action plan. The purpose of this scheme is to build on the work we have already achieved in promoting disability equality at the NAO. The scheme sets out the ways in which we intend to remove the barriers faced by disabled people in order to create a working environment which promotes inclusiveness and equality.
By involving disabled people in the production of our scheme we have identified six core strategic priorities for the next three years:
- Accessibility and the built environment
- Employment
- Involving disabled people
- Communication
- Training
- Corporate Service Delivery
These strategic priorities will form the basis of our first action plan framework and Jim Rickleton, our Diversity Champion, will have overall responsibility for the implementation of the Scheme.
Involving disabled people across the NAO has contributed in large part to the development of this scheme. I would like to personally thank all those who gave their time and expertise in its development.
