This delivery plan sets out the next phase of reform for the Disability Confident scheme.
Our ambition is to establish a nationally recognised, inclusive, and accountable framework that enables employers to confidently recruit, retain, and support disabled people and those with long-term health conditions.
The renewed scheme will introduce clear standards, greater transparency, and expectations for continuous improvement, ensuring that each level of membership reflects meaningful action rather than compliance alone. By embedding collaboration, accountability, and lived experience at the heart of delivery, the scheme will drive cultural change, reduce barriers, and champion equity across workplaces.
Through these reforms, Disability Confident will move beyond awareness-raising to become a practical, measurable, and trusted marker for inclusive employment, supporting employers to make lasting change and improving outcomes for disabled people.
