Eagleton states that feedback from FDA members also makes it clear that relocation “should not be mandatory” and calls for the expansion of regional pilots for the Fast Stream.

On the training opportunities offered by the scheme, Eagleton says: “a concern we have heard is that Fast Streamers aren’t given enough experience in management”, but welcomes steps taken to address this, such as the introduction of management modules.

As the panel discusses the key reforms needed in the Fast Stream, Eagleton says that “pay parity is something that our members really want to see… It would improve retention, particularly among those from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds.”

The discussion is based on @instituteforgovernment.org.uk’s report on Fast Stream reform which reflects many of the FDA’s own recommendations, including on pay parity.

In the civil service the disability pay gap stands at 8%.

Whilst the FDA applauds the civil service for choosing to publish their Disability Pay Gap figures voluntarily, employers must engage with unions to improve the working lives of disabled civil servants and remove workplace barriers.
