We have been recognised as an employer who makes certain positive commitments regarding the employment, retention, training and career development of disabled people.
We have achieved and maintained the disability Two Ticks accreditation since 2007. The accreditation is reviewed annually to ensure we are meeting the following 5 commitments;
- Interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the job;
- Ensure a mechanism is in place to discuss, at any time, but at least once a year, with disabled employees what can be done to ensure that they can develop and use their full abilities;
- Make every effort to ensure that when employees become disabled, they stay in employment;
- Take action to ensure that all employees develop the appropriate level of disability awareness needed to make these commitments work;
- Conduct an annual review on what has been achieved and plan ways to improve on them. This is reported to the Department of Work and Pensions.
