The Two Ticks Disability Symbol
The Two Ticks Disability Symbol is given to employers in recognition of those who have agreed to take action to meet five commitments regarding the employment, retention, training and career development of disabled employees.
These commitments ensure that disabled people are supported by employers and are treated fairly at every stage of their selection and employment.
The Five Commitments
1. To interview all applicants with a disability who meet the minimum criteria for a job vacancy and to consider them on their abilities.
2. To ensure there is a mechanism in place to discuss with disabled employees at any time, but at least once a year, what both employer and disabled employees can do to make sure disabled employees can use and develop their abilities.
3. To make every effort when employees become disabled to make sure they stay in employment.
4. To take action to ensure that all employees develop the appropriate level of disability awareness needed to make the employer’s commitments work.
5. To each year to review the five commitments and what has been achieved, to plan ways to improve on them and let employees and the Employment Service know about progress and future plans.
