The law is very clear that employers must make reasonable adjustments for employees and job applicants who meet the Equality Act 2010\u2019s definition of disability, namely having a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long-term negative effect on the person\u2019s ability to do normal daily activities. Where a disability is not obvious, it will be necessary for the employee or job applicant to declare their condition, but at that point the onus passes to the employer to meet its legal obligations.<\/p>
<\/p>
To help employers comply with the law, the Government has issued guidance on the duty to make reasonable adjustments, here: https://www.gov.uk/reasonable-adjustments-for-disabled-workers<\/a><\/p> <\/p> In addition, guidance on this subject has been issued by Acas and by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, which has also published a statutory code of practice for employers. Where employers fall short on their obligations, legal remedies exist for employees and job applicants, together with Acas\u2019s early conciliation service, which aims to settle disputes before they reach the employment tribunal.<\/p>"}

However, last year we published the results of survey research, commissioned from Ipsos MORI, which explored the effect that signing up to the Disability Confident scheme has had on employers\u2019 recruitment and retention attitudes and practices with regards to disabled people.<\/p> <\/p> The researchers interviewed employers of all sizes, ranging from very small organisations with low levels of staff turnover to large companies employing thousands. Across all employers interviewed, half said they had recruited at least one person with a disability, long-term health or mental health condition as a result of joining the scheme. Among larger employers, nearly two thirds reported the same.<\/p> <\/p>
