Disability Confident Employer

Disability Confident is a government initiative creating a movement of change and encouraging employers to discover new potential employees and the talents they can bring to the workplace. The scheme helps organisations take a proactive approach to building a more inclusive, accessible, and supportive working environment for people with disabilities or long-term health conditions.

It shows that, as a business, you are committed to providing fair, inclusive, and accessible recruitment practices, ensuring candidates are assessed on their skills and potential, not limited by barriers or bias. From adjusting interview processes to providing on-the-job support, Disability Confident employers take practical steps to make work more equitable.

But it is more than just compliance. It is about building a positive culture. The initiative helps employers challenge attitudes, increase understanding, and unlock the value disabled employees add to a business. It also improves employee engagement, retention, and strengthens your reputation as a socially responsible employer.

By signing up, businesses gain access to resources, guidance, and a framework to grow their confidence and capability in supporting disabled people in work. Ultimately, Disability Confident helps to remove stigma, open opportunities, and ensure every individual has the chance to thrive.
