Disability Symbol promotion

North East Lincolnshire Council is recognised by the Employment Service for its commitment to the employment of people with a disability.

We will:

• Interview all applicants with a disability who meet the minimum criteria for a job vacancy and consider them on their abilities.
• Consult employees with a disability regularly and ask at least once a year what we can do to make sure they can develop and use their abilities at work.
• Make every effort if employees become disabled to help them stay in employment.
• Take action to ensure that all employees develop an appropriate level of awareness of disability issues.
• Review these commitments every year, looking at what has been achieved, planning ways to improve and letting employees know about progress and future plans.

• We can provide recruitment information in different formats and make any necessary adjustments to interview arrangements.
• Our jobs are advertised on a dedicated website that aims to promote "Local disabled people fulfilling local needs".
• A Disability Awareness and Support group meets at regular intervals to share and discuss issues of interest or concern.
