Kent Invicta LIVE: Are You Disability Confident? Supporting Visible and Invisible Disabilities In The Workplace

For our next Kent Invicta LIVE event, The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will guide us through ‘Are you Disability Confident? Supporting Visible and Invisible Disabilities In The Workplace’. 

DWP are committed to supporting customers with health conditions and disabilities. There are a lot of misconceptions around hiring people with disabilities such as concerns around additional costs, increased absences, insurance liabilities etc.

Join us as we bust these myths, showcase the support available and show how you can lead the way in inclusive recruitment practices. We know there are many proactive, inclusive employers out there already, as well as those who want to make a change but need guidance on where to start.

In this event we will be promoting:

• The Disability Confident campaign- working with employers to remove barriers, increase understanding and ensure that disabled people have the opportunities to fulfil their potential
• Examples of how Disability Confident can add value to your organisation
• How to join the Disability Confident scheme or preparing to take the next steps
• Can you access additional funding to support your employees?
• How inclusivity can help you to attract applications from a wider pool of applicants

The DWP is here to support you and promote yourselves as ethical, inclusive employers.
