DBS is a Disability Confident Employer

DBS has Level 2 Disability Confident Employer status which means we want to recruit and retain disabled people and those with health conditions.  It has replaced the previous Two Ticks Positive About Disabled People scheme.

We:

• Identify and address any barriers that may prevent or deter disabled people from applying for our jobs, including where we advertise, the words we use and how people can apply
• Use our DC badge to make sure potential applicants know we're an inclusive employer
• Make sure online or offline processes are fully accessible 
• Get our recruitment process tested by disabled people, and if there is a barrier either remove it or provide an alternative way to apply
• Provide a short but accurate job description that clearly sets out what the jobholder will be required to achieve, accepting there are different ways to achieve the same objective
• Make sure all documentation is available in different formats, if required
• Accept job applications in a variety of formats
• Make sure people involved in the recruitment process are DC and know how to support disabled applicants
