For the Vision and commitment on disability award we were looking for a high level commitment that is publicly communicated and covers both customers and employees. There should also be a clear vision of how to become a disability confident organisation.

Award winners:
B&Q
Essex Police
Lloyds TSB
Motability Operations

We were impressed with B&Q, Essex Police and Lloyds TSB who have comprehensive visions that covers all aspects of the business. Also impressive was Motability Operations' positioning of disability confidence as a key strategic goal.
