Hi John,

Try this link at the DRC. There are other helpful pages to.

I think this is an access issue, just not necessarily about the built
environment although it could be that to.

Regards 

Pam

Dear All,

Although this is not in the strictest sense an access issue, I am looking, 
once again for your expertise and generous feedback. I am a member of our 
local disability equality workers group. We have been asked to work with our

Corporate Equalities Group by looking at and responding to existing and 
proposed policies. They have asked the DEWG to look at how they can improve 
prospects of recruiting disabled people.

Specifically, I would like to have some views on



 What they perceive to be the barriers to us recruiting and 
retaining a more diverse workforce
 Any views on how those barriers should be addressed
 Experiences of best practice elsewhere
 What role the group(s) could play in helping us increase our 
workforce diversity
 Any other views that might assist

We do not need to make fair suggestions if a strong argument can be made in 
favour of a practice that will give disabled people a fairer chance at 
getting a job. I believe that a transparent recruitment system would go a 
long way toward this aim.

Thanks,

John Rainey
