Disability Confident
The Disability Confident scheme supports employers like you to make the most of the talents disabled people can bring to your workplace.
More and more businesses are signing up to Disability Confident every week. The scheme helps them think differently about disability, and improve how they attract, recruit and retain disabled workers.
"Being Disability Confident sends a signal to employees, clients and stakeholders about the type of organisation we are." Marek Tokarski, CDC Enterprise Agency

Why you should sign up
Disability Confident organisations play a leading role in changing attitudes for the better. They’re changing behaviour and cultures in their own businesses, networks and communities.
The scheme helps employers:
- 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 that you treat all employees fairly
It also helps customers and other businesses identify those employers who are committed to equality in the workplace.
