New Plans Unveiled in Sir Charlie Mayfield’s ‘Keep Britain Working’ Review
On 23 September 2026, Disability Rights UK shared important updates regarding Sir Charlie Mayfield’s ongoing ‘Keep Britain Working’ review. This significant report introduces initial proposals to establish a new ‘Workplace Health System’, aimed at supporting disabled employees and promoting inclusive work environments across the UK.
A Fresh Approach to Workplace Health
The proposed Workplace Health System represents a forward-thinking step towards ensuring better health support and accessibility within workplaces. It reflects a growing recognition of the unique challenges faced by disabled workers and the need for tailored policies that encourage job retention and meaningful employment.
Sir Charlie Mayfield’s review builds on the foundation of previous efforts to maintain and improve employment opportunities for disabled people, particularly as workplaces continue to evolve post-pandemic. By proposing a system specifically designed around health and employment needs, the review seeks to embed practical support that benefits both employees and employers alike.
What This Means for Disabled Workers
For disabled people, the new Workplace Health System could mark a considerable improvement in workplace experiences. It aims to reduce barriers to work caused by health conditions and disabilities by promoting consistent, proactive health management within the employment sector.
This is expected to foster more inclusive hiring practices, reasonable adjustments, and ongoing support, contributing to greater job security and satisfaction among disabled workers. The initiative aligns closely with the goals of Disability Rights UK to make work fairer and more accessible.
Looking Ahead
While the details of the system are still developing, this update signals positive momentum towards a more inclusive UK labour market. Disabled employees, employers, and advocates alike will be watching carefully as the review progresses and further plans are unveiled.
For those interested in the full details, the original announcement is available on the Disability Rights UK website.
