Matters Arising

Defibrillators

The Director of Community and Children’s Services informed the Committee that officers had engaged with the Community Heartbeat Trust and were working on a scheme to encourage business to make defibrillators installed on their premises publicly available. There would be a proposal going to the Health and Wellbeing Board to take the scheme forward.

Employment for People with a Learning Disability

The Director of Community and Children’s Services informed the Committee that learning disabilities were not recorded specifically in the City of London Corporation’s employment data. With regards to employees declaring a disability, 2.7% of employees declared a disability, and 13% of employees had not declared their disability status.

The Committee noted that the City Bridge Trust was currently funding two schemes with the aim of supporting people with disabilities into employment, including the Bridge to Work programme. The Committee noted that the Corporation was not on this scheme as an employer. A Member suggested that officers link with the Corporation’s Disability Inclusive Network for insight into the matter.
