What is DEAC?

The Disability Employment Advisory Committee (DEAC) is an Advisory Committee that gives independent, informed advice to Ministers and government policy makers about helping disabled people find and keep work. It is a Non Departmental Public Body (NDPB) sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

DEAC is not a government department and its Members are not employed by government. They work on a voluntary basis, solely to advise Ministers and government policy makers.
