Disability Confident
Join over 20,000 organisations that have already signed up to Disability Confident and are playing a leading role in changing attitudes for the better. They are changing behaviours and culture in their own businesses, networks and communities and reaping the benefits of inclusive recruitment practices.
The scheme has been designed as a journey with all employers starting at level one and progressing at their own pace to achieving Disability Confident Leader status.
Being a Disability Confident employer can benefit your organisation in a number of ways.
As a Disability Confident Employer you are already benefiting from being able to draw from the widest possible pool of talent, and are securing, retaining and developing disabled staff who are skilled, loyal and hard-working. By stepping up to being a Disability Confident Leader your business can gain recognition from:
- Disabled staff in your business
- Disabled people outside of your business
- Other businesses
- Your customers
- The wider community
You will also be acting as a champion for Disability Confident within your local and business communities and encouraging and supporting other businesses in your supply chain(s) and your networks to become Disability Confident. In doing so, you will be showing disabled people that you are leading the way in getting every business to become Disability Confident.

Thanks for your help - without the encouragement we wouldn't have attempted level 2. The translation of the standards into real terms was really helpful."
