Disability Confident

Disability Confident is a government scheme to encourage organisations to employ more disabled people. It is voluntary – meaning organisations choose to sign up. GOV.UK has a list of organisations that have signed up to the scheme. When looking for a job you can look for the Disability Confident symbol.
