A new Disability Confident guide for managers helping them recruit, retain, and foster the progression of disabled people and those with health conditions in the workplace has been published today by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP):

DWP has worked in collaboration with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) to develop the quick and easy guidance to ensure employers and employees get the most from the Disability Confident scheme, to boost disability employment and reduce the disability employment gap.

This new guidance is part of wider action to support disabled people who can work to reap the countless social, health and financial benefits a job brings.
