The Disability Symbol

The disability symbol is recognition of a commitment made by employers to value disabled people who they employ for the skills and abilities that they may bring to a job or organisation.

The some of the things employers who use the disability symbol have agreed to do are:

• To interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum expectancy for a job vacancy and to consider them on their abilities;
• To make every effort when employees become disabled to make sure they stay in employment;
• To take action to ensure all employees develop the appropriate level of disability awareness needed to make sure these commitments work.
