Recruitment

A new report from the Equality and Human Rights Commission has found that, while supporting disabled workers can greatly benefit employers and their organisations, disabled people continue to be put at a disadvantage in the workplace.

A new recruitment protocol has been launched aimed at getting recruitment agencies to help people with disabilities – physical and learning – to compete on an equal footing when applying for jobs.

A mental health charity is celebrating following the government’s decision to ban employers from asking job applicants about their medical history prior to inviting them for interview.
