What is Disability Confident Committed?
The Disability Confident scheme is a voluntary government initiative designed by employers and disabled people’s representatives to help employers recruit and retain people with disabilities and health conditions.
The scheme lays out commitments employers take in their responsibilities towards disabled workers and individuals with long-term health conditions, including:
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
helps identify employers committed to inclusion and diversity in the workplace
