Navigating the Disability Confident Journey: Insights into the Voluntary Reporting Framework

This webinar, the last in our Navigating the Disability Confident Journey series, will explore the UK Government’s Disability Confident Scheme, with a focus on the Voluntary Reporting Framework.

This framework encourages organisations to be transparent about the representation and inclusion of disabled people in their workforce, helping to drive real progress toward workplace equity.

During this session, we will delve into the practicalities of adopting the Voluntary Reporting Framework, including how it can enhance accountability, promote inclusivity, and align with your organization’s disability inclusion goals.

A featured speaker from our Advice Service will share expert insights and examples of best practice to help you effectively implement and benefit from this framework. They will also look at how you can best evidence this in your DCL submission.

Key topics

• Understanding the Disability Confident Scheme and its benefits.
• How the Voluntary Reporting Framework supports disability inclusion and transparency.
• Practical advice on collecting, reporting, data for your DC submission
• Interactive Q&A with Business Disability Forum Advice Service experts.

Who should attend?

This webinar is ideal for HR professionals, diversity and inclusion practitioners, senior leaders, and anyone committed to building a more inclusive workplace.

What is the Disability Confident’ scheme?

The Disability Confident scheme is a UK Government initiative to encourage employers to recruit people with health conditions and disabled people. It also aims to help employers retain their disabled staff encouraging them to work through the structured programme.

Participating in the Disability Confident scheme can be a great way of demonstrating to applicants and candidates that your organisation is committed to recruiting and retaining disabled talent.

At BDF we support member organisations through the scheme and as part of your membership we validate level 3.
