"In today's world we focus on abilities and develop people’s capacity rather than categorising
individuals. Benchmarking ensures smart practices of intelligent businesses become the secure standard that sets people free to unleash their skills, strengths and significance. This is why EFD's Disability Standard is a vital step forward."
