- Winners 2007
The night’s big winner was Royal Bank of Scotland, which scooped three awards for producing accessible information, making reasonable adjustments and listening to disabled people. Other multiple winners included the British Library, Lloyds TSB and BT.
More than 100 organisations, employing around 2 million people in the United Kingdom, entered the awards. EFD’s Disability Standard Team sifted through around 4,000 pieces of evidence submitted by the organisations before deciding on up to four winners for each of the six award categories.
“We are extremely pleased to honour these organisations that have shown excellence at disability best practice,” said EFD Chief executive Susan Scott-Parker. “Getting it right on disability isn’t always easy, but all organisations that took part in the Disability Standard 2007 have shown commitment to doing so.
“The evidence shows that taking part in the Disability Standard drives performance and has positive business benefits.”
