As an employer we are dedicated to embedding disability inclusion across our organisation which is why we have partnered with disability experts, EmployAbility, to enable us to provide the appropriate adjustment support to existing employees and new applicants joining RFU.
RFU is also a member of Inclusive Employers who provide routine webinars for any of our employees to attend and cover a range of topics including neurodiversity and disability inclusion. This is key to engaging all employees on disability inclusion and helping others to understand how people are disabled by barriers in society rather than their impairment or difference.
We are actively trying to incorporate accessibility into all of our existing projects and there are plenty of opportunities for colleagues to get involved if they would like, for example, our stadium is getting upgraded and we have formed an accessibility group to feed into the design.
Here we answer your accessibility FAQs:
Twickenham Station is the nearest station to the stadium and after the recent upgrades it now has step free access from all platforms to street level.
