We’re on a mission to become Disability Confident!
We’ve taken an exciting step forward by signing up to the Disability Confident Scheme. This Government-backed initiative helps employers recruit, retain and support disabled people and those with long term health conditions – but this is more than just a badge, it’s a reflection of the culture we want to build. We all want a workplace that values diversity, challenges stigma and celebrates the contribution of every employee.
Here’s what we’re doing…
As a Disability Confident Committed Employer we have committed to:
- Ensure our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible
- Communicating and promoting vacancies
- Offering an interview to disabled people who meet the minimum criteria for the job
- Anticipating and providing reasonable adjustments as required
- Supporting any existing employee who acquires a disability or long term health condition, enabling them to stay in work
- At least one activity that will make a difference for disabled people
Why this matters…
1 in 5 people in the UK has a disability or long-term health condition. By joining this scheme we’re committing to making our workplace more accessible and supportive for everyone.
