DISABILITY SYMBOL USER SYMBOL 

The Council has registered as a Disability Symbol user, which means that we have made the following genuine commitments to action: 

• To interview all applicants with a disability who meet the Essential criteria for a job vacancy and consider them on their abilities
• To ask disabled employees at least once a year what can be done to make sure they can develop and use their abilities at work
• To make every effort when employees become disabled to make sure they stay in employment
• To take action to ensure that key employees develop the awareness of disability needed to make employers commitments work
• To review these commitments each year, what has been achieved, plan ways to improve on them and let all employees know about
