Employers’ Forum on Disability will publicise the top ten performers, to promote and reward those that deserve recognition and generate publicity for disability in the workplace. Scores of all organisations remain confidential, although participants are awarded a Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze or participant ranking to show their commitment to improving their performance on disability.

The Innovation Award will recognise innovative schemes and outstanding performance from evidence submitted for assessment. For the Disability Champion Award, participants will also be asked to supply details of outstanding work undertaken by disability champions within their organisation.

The Disability Standard 2009 Awards will celebrate the progress participating organisations are making on disability. Judged by disability experts and presented at a high profile reception, the Awards are an ideal opportunity to showcase good practice and raise awareness of disability confidence. Shortlisted organisations will benefit from support from EFD's media team to promote their work in the appropriate national and trade press.

Please note that all shortlisted organisations should have received notice and details of booking process for the Awards at the end of August. Contact the team if you have any questions on 020-7089-2740 or email disabilitystandard@efd.org.uk
