Thursday 10th December; 12pm to 1pm 
Virtual Workshop

No organisation sets out to exclude disabled talent however many recruitment processes still contain unintended, hidden barriers that can prevent great candidates from applying, progressing, or accepting offers. From the wording of job descriptions and the accessibility of application systems to how adjustments are managed and how confident interviewers feel, every stage plays a crucial role in shaping a candidate’s experience.

In this interactive webinar, we’ll explore where bias and barriers can unintentionally appear. We will guide you through each stage of the recruitment journey, challenging you to review your processes through a disability lens, and ask: Is our process genuinely barrier-free? Are we doing enough?

In doing so, we will highlight common pitfalls and share practical, achievable ways to make every step more inclusive. We’ll explore what real accessibility looks like in practice, how to build confidence among hiring teams, and how small changes can make a significant difference to attracting and recruiting talented disabled candidates.

You’ll leave with the insight and tools to assess your own processes with fresh eyes, helping you move from thinking you’re inclusive to truly being inclusive, and ensuring your organisation is ready to welcome exceptional disabled talent who can drive innovation, performance, and positive change.

This workshop is invaluable for organisations at the start of their disability inclusion journey and for those seeking to evaluate and strengthen their current approach. It’s particularly relevant for TA Teams, including Early Years recruiters, HR and DEI professionals.
