Arts Derbyshire are a disability confident organisation!

Arts Derbyshire have recently received news that we have earned the Disability Confidence Badge, a certification that has been awarded for employing and supporting disabled people and people with health issues.

 

Disability Confident Badge

This recognition highlights our ongoing commitment to creating an inclusive workplace for all employees, a super important value to us. By gaining this certification badge, we aim to lead the industry and encourage other organisations to follow suit and support disabled employees.

We look forward to continuing on with our mission and creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive, no matter what! This certification demonstrates our core values – our ambition, our collaborative work, our inclusivity and innovation – and also demonstrates a commitment to maintaining the scheme and evolving practices.

The badge was developed by employers and disabled people’s representatives to make it rigorous but easily accessible – particularly for smaller businesses. The scheme is voluntary and access to the guidance, self-assessments and resources is completely free so we massively recommend all businesses and organisations get the Disability Confident Committed Certificate.

As a Disability Confident Committed Employer we have committed to:

  • ensure our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible
  • communicating and promoting vacancies
  • offering an interview to disabled people who meet the minimum criteria for the job
  • anticipating and providing reasonable adjustments as required
  • supporting any existing employee who acquires a disability or long term health condition, enabling them to stay in work
  • at least one activity that will make a difference for disabled people
