Disability Confident Scheme
The Disability Confident Scheme is a government initiative that encourages employers to increase the number of disabled people they hire into their organisation.
The Disability Confident Scheme is a government initiative that encourages employers to increase the number of disabled people they hire into their organisation. The scheme is voluntary and contains 3 ‘levels’ participating organisations can achieve:
- Level 1: Disability Confident Confirmed
- Level 2: Disability Confident Employer
- Level 3: Disability Confident Leader
The scheme is designed to make sure disabled people don’t experience disadvantages in the recruitment process. Organisations are encouraged to challenge common misconceptions about disability and remove barriers and obstacles that could prevent disabled people from achieving their career ambitions.
Currently, Co-op is at Level 1: Disability Confident Confirmed. In practice this means we will:
- Always offer an interview to disabled candidates if they meet the minimum criteria for a job
- Make reasonable adjustments throughout the hiring process to ensure that disabled candidates are not disadvantaged
- Provide an inclusive, fair, and accessible hiring process for all disabled applicants
- Support disabled colleagues by making reasonable adjustments where necessary to enable them to do their jobs to the best of their ability
