Employers' Disability Charter
Are you an employer who wants to create a more inclusive workplace for everyone, including disabled people? Joining the Employers’ Disability Charter is a great first step.
“It’s been fantastic working with GET to support their colleagues by offering workplace experience. Our key aim was to help the participants develop their life skills by working alongside our branch teams. We put in place individual responsibilities and agreed accountabilities together with spending time on creating a CV and building confidence by practicing interview techniques. Our team have learnt so much from the initiative, we now have a better understanding of how to create an environment that can truly support our commitment to be an inclusive employer and assist job seekers towards securing rewarding careers.”

By signing the Charter, you’ll be showing your commitment to creating a people-first organisation.
The commitments will provide you with tangible steps to develop inclusive recruitment practices and disability awareness. Building a greater understanding of how flexibility and a willingness to offer workplace adjustments remove barriers and allow you to access a wider pool of talent.
Signing the Employers’ Disability Charter is a commitment to creating a more equitable workplace where all different voices are heard and valued. The commitments will help you develop a culture of greater acceptance and understanding, improving staff retention and supporting you to become an employer of choice.
