Two Ticks - Disability Symbol

What is the two ticks (Disability) Symbol?

It’s a recognition given by Jobcentre Plus to employers who have agreed to take action to meet five commitments regarding the employment, retention, training and career development of disabled employees. The recognition is reviewed annually by the Job Centre Plus to ensure the Council is working towards/ meeting the five commitments.

What are the five commitments?

The five commitments are:
  1. To interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for a job vacancy and to consider them on their abilities

  2. To discuss with disabled employees, at any time but at least once a year, what both parties can do to make sure disabled employees can develop and use their abilities

  3. To make every effort when employees become disabled to make sure they stay in employment

  4. To take action to ensure that all employees develop the appropriate level of disability awareness needed to make these commitments work

  5. To review these commitments each year and assess what has been achieved, plan ways to improve on them and let employees and Jobcentre Plus know about progress and future plans
