Hosting inclusive interviews
Make sure the interview venue or platform is accessible – tell candidates how to log in if the interview is virtual or let them know how best to get to the venue and what the journey inside the building will involve.
Adjustments at interview
Don’t ask candidates to request adjustments. Tell every candidate what the process will involve and ask them if they want to discuss any changes to make the interview process.

Make sure your selection and shortlisting criteria and processes do not discriminate against disabled people.
