We have undertaken a self-assessment against the standard which was then reviewed by an external assessor and an internal focus group of disabled staff. This validated our self-assessment as a true reflection of how we meet the standard and we were confirmed as a Disability Confident Leader in August 2017.
Following this robust process, MTIB can now support other employers to sign up to the standard at all 3 levels. We actively encourage employers and organisations we work with to sign up to the scheme which has now replaced the Two Tick Symbol – Positive About Disabled People.
For more information about the Disability Confident Campaign, please visit https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/disability-confident-campaign. Here you can find out more about the 3 levels: Committed, Employer and Leader.
If any organisation would like support from MTIB to meet the standard, we would be happy to discuss your requirements. Please Contact our Employment & Training team for more information and an informal chat.
MTIB is proud to be one of the first employers in Wales to achieve the Disability Confident Leader status.
