Disability Confident is a UK Government scheme that helps organisations in all industries and sectors become inclusive workplaces that can recruit and retain disabled talent.
Roughly 20% of the UK workforce identifies as disabled, and with this on the rise year-on-year, there’s never been a better time to ensure that your organisation is accessible.
In addition to the strong moral aspect and ESG reporting, improving your workplace for disabled staff allows you to more easily tap into the disabled talent pool, which makes up 20% of the UK work force. Increased diversity in your organisation is proven to drive innovation and success. The best practice your organisation implements through the Disability Confident scheme may also improve the physical and mental wellbeing of all staff. Further, the scheme gives your organisation strong validation that you’re doing right by your team and are set to grow sustainably.
Given it’s designed by the Government, the scheme is clunky, unclear, and hard to follow. We’re here as veterans of the scheme to cut the fat, and guide your organisation to Disability Confident Leader status in an affordable and streamlined way that works for you.
