<p>DWP is a Disability Confident Leader and all our campaigns advertised on Civil
Service Jobs, externally or across the Civil Service, carry the Disability Confident
Logo. We are committed to offering an interview to any disabled candidate, internal
or external, who applies for these campaigns under the Disability Confident Scheme
and meets the minimum criteria for the role.</p><p> </p><p>To respond to changing
resourcing requirements, and enable career development moves, DWP does provide opportunities
for its employees to move internally on a lateral basis across the department where
appropriate before advertising vacancies on CS Jobs. Advertising internal opportunities
to move laterally is not mandatory but where these opportunities are advertised, we
operate the Disability Confident Scheme which enables eligible candidates that apply
under the scheme to progress to the interview stage if they meet the minimum requirements
for the role. As most internal opportunities are advertised locally, using manual
processes rather than CS Jobs, we are only able to provide limited numerical data.</p><p>
</p><p>The table below shows the number of DWP candidates applying for internal or
Cross Government roles advertised on CS Jobs who have declared themselves as having
a disability, or who applied under the Guaranteed Interview Scheme. We cannot identify
who is applying on a level move, just those who have replied ‘no’ to the question
'are you applying on promotion'. This may include a very small number of people who
have applied for a role at a lower grade, though this is extremely rare.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Internal
