At Disability Jobsite, we are committed to ensuring that disabled professionals can access rewarding careers without barriers. This guide highlights your rights under the Equality Act and offers practical support for navigating inclusive recruitment and workplace adjustments.
Understanding Your Rights
The Equality Act protects individuals with physical or mental impairments that have a long-term and substantial impact on daily life. From job applications to progression and dismissal, employers must treat disabled candidates fairly and provide reasonable adjustments to remove disadvantage. If discrimination occurs, you have the right to take your case to an Employment Tribunal.
Inclusive Recruitment Practices
Employers should demonstrate inclusive practices, such as using accessible formats, offering interview accommodations, and avoiding exclusionary language. You are entitled to disclose your disability if adjustments are required, and this disclosure must not be used against you.
Support in the Workplace
Reasonable adjustments may include flexible hours, assistive technology, or adapted responsibilities. If you become disabled while employed, your employer is legally required to review your role and support your continued contribution.
