Becoming disability confident

This section contains the benchmark results from the Disability Standard 2005 onwards. The results provide a fascinating insight into the extent to which a diverse range of UK employers are becoming 'disability confident'.

Eighty organisations took part in the Disability Standard 2005 increasing to 116 in 2007. Copies of the Benchmark Report and the Summary Benchmark Report are available to download from the tabs to the left.

The Disability Standard shows to what extent participants have the commitment, leadership, policies and procedures in place to employ and serve disabled people efficiently. Employers who participated are aiming to become more 'disability confident'. A truly 'disability confident' organisation would reach the Disability Standard by scoring 100% on the Benchmark Survey.
