What is disability? Identities and definitions

The definition of a disability is very broad and covers people you may not have considered to be disabled – and some people who wouldn’t consider themselves disabled.

Getting started on disability inclusion often means admitting that your organisation can do things better – and this can be difficult.

This resource discusses how to think about language when talking to someone about their disability.
Top tips for talking about disability
It is important to talk positively and openly about the importance of disability inclusion and diverse workforces.

Building the expectation of welcoming and fair treatment for disabled applicants into your employer brand is essential.
Barrier-free recruitment
Your recruitment processes should be built from the outset in way that is conscious of the barriers disabled applicants could face.

Someone telling you they have a disability can be a sensitive conversation, so it’s important to approach the conversation sensitively.
