In the UK, there are approximately 16 million people with disabilities, nine million of whom are of working age and could be contributing towards your business. However, Disabled people face a number of challenges to employment, beginning with inaccessible job applications. They also experience negative attitudes and behaviours, including people making assumptions about their condition and judging their capabilities.
This Disabilities Awareness for Employers course will support you in playing your part in reducing the disability employment gap by giving you the confidence to successfully recruit and retain Disabled workers. The course explains the different types of disabilities people may have, how disabilities can impact people’s work and how you can support them with reasonable adjustments, how to create a more inclusive workplace and how to ensure your recruitment processes are accessible to all.
