Disability Confident employers
By law, all employers must treat everyone who applies for a job equally. Some employers have signed up as Disability Confident. They want to make the most of the talents disabled people can bring to the workplace. Disability Confident is run by the Government.
Disability Confident employers should:
- offer an interview to a fair number of disabled people who meet the minimum criteria for a job
- use the Disability Confident symbol on their websites and job adverts
Find out more about Disability Confident on the Scope website.
