Disability Confident aims to give employers the techniques, skills and confidence they need to recruit, retain and develop disabled people and people with long-term health conditions.

This research aimed to understand from an employer perspective the effect that signing up to Disability Confident scheme has had on their:

  • recruitment and retention attitudes
  • practices with regards to disabled people

It also aimed to understand what motivates employers to sign up to the scheme and what support those employers need to promote the scheme both within and outside of their organisation.
