Positive about disabled people

Jobcentre Plus has welcomed MHA as a user of the disability symbol. This means that we are committed to employing disabled people and will:

Interview all applicants with a disability who meet the minimum criteria for a job vacancy and consider them on their abilities.

ensure that there is a mechanism in place to discuss, at any time, but at least once a year, with disabled employees what can be done to make sure they can develop and use their abilities

Make every effort when employees become disabled to make sure they stay in employment

Take action to ensure that all employees develop the appropriate level of disability awareness needed to make these commitments work

Each year review the five commitments and what has been achieved, plan ways to improve on them and let employees and Jobcentre Plus know about progress and future plans
