The Civil Service is committed to becoming the UK\u2019s most inclusive employer by 2020, and needs to recruit and retain diverse talent from all backgrounds; including people with a disability<\/p>
All main government departments have achieved Disability Confident Leaders (level 3) status, the highest level on the Government\u2019s new Disability Confident Scheme. The scheme provides employers with the tools to recruit, retain and develop disabled people, and acts as a catalyst for continuous improvement.
Departments have been introducing and piloting inclusive recruitment methods such as Diverse Panels, video attraction and strength-based selection. The Civil Service Disability Inclusion Programme works closely with the Government Recruitment Service to ensure that recruitment processes are fully accessible and inclusive to disabled people who are seeking to join the Civil Service.<\/p>"}

The detailed data from the Civil Service People Survey for each Government Department from 2014-2017 is provided as a table in Annex A. Most Government Departments have seen the proportion of disabled staff who feel they are treated fairly at work increase since 2014.<\/p>
