<p data-pm-slice="0 0 []">On 18 March 2025, the Government published a Green Paper, Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working. The consultation proposes to reform health and disability benefits and employment support, building on the approach set out in the White Paper; Get Britain Working, published in November 2024. The Green Paper highlights the stark statistics that one in ten working age people are now claiming at least one type of health or disability benefit, and one in eight young people aged 16 to 24 are not currently in work, education, or training. Proposals for reform are underpinned by five principles: early intervention, fair welfare assessments, more tailored employment assistance, financial sustainability, and support for disabled people who will always be unable to work. Employment measures are aimed at embedding accessibility and workplace adjustments into recruitment and retention practices. Views are sought on reforming the Access to Work scheme; how to create a cultural shift in employer awareness; improving understanding of the duty to make workplace adjustments; and reducing the costs of providing practical support such as assistive technology. The consultation also considers the extent to which organisations like the Equality and Human Rights Commission, Acas, and the Health and Safety Executive could help to promote change. A number of public events will take place before the consultation closes on 30 June 2025. Alongside the Green Paper, an independent review, Keep Britain Working, led by Sir Charlie Mayhew, will consider and make recommendations on the role of employers in creating and maintaining healthy and inclusive workplaces and preventing health-related economic inactivity. The focus of this review will be on practical steps to increase recruitment, retention, and the return to work of disabled people and people with long-term health conditions.</p>
