1.2 The benefits of employing disabled people
Over 7.7 million people of working age in the UK are disabled or have a health condition. Historically there has been a significant gap between the proportion of disabled people employed compared with non-disabled people.
Encouraging applications from disabled people is good for business. It can help you to:
increase the number of high quality applicants available
create a workforce that reflects the diverse range of customers it serves and the community in which it is based
bring additional skills to the business, such as the ability to use British Sign Language (BSL), which could result in large savings
