The new Disability Confident guide was produced in conjunction with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). The DWP said it forms part of its £2.5 billion Back to Work plan – a broader push to get more people back into the workplace.
The guide offers practical tips for managers on recruiting, managing and developing people with a disability or health condition. It covers areas such as employers’ legal responsibilities, the language they should use, reasonable adjustment and how to discuss performance and progression.
