Disability Confident is a government initiative designed to encourage employers to recruit and retain disabled people and those with health conditions. It is voluntary and has been developed by employers and disabled people’s representatives.
As a Disability Confident organisation, we play a leading role in changing attitudes for the better. We are committed to inclusion and diversity in the workplace.
We are changing behaviour and cultures in our own business, networks and community, and reaping the benefits of inclusive recruitment practices.
The Disability Confident scheme helps us recruit and retain great people, and to:
Challenge attitudes and increase understanding of disability
Draw from the widest possible pool of talent
Secure high-quality staff who are skilled, loyal and hard working
Improve employee morale and commitment by demonstrating fair treatment
