'Two Ticks' Disability symbol

Westminster City Council is a Disability Symbol user and wishes to encourage disabled people to apply for jobs. This means we have agreed to meet five commitments regarding the recruitment, employment, retention and career development of disabled people.

We have agreed:

• to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for a job vacancy and consider them on their abilities.
• to ensure there is a mechanism in place to discuss at any time, but at least once a year, with disabled employees what we can as en employer do to make sure they can develop and use their abilities.
• to make every effort when our employees become disabled to make sure that they stay in our employment.
• to take action to ensure that all employees develop the appropriate level of disability awareness needed to make our commitments work.
• each year, to review the five commitments and what has been achieved, to plan ways to improve on them and let employees and Jobcentre Plus know about progress and future plans.
