This marks an important milestone in our journey toward becoming a more inclusive and accessible workplace for our team.
What Is a Disability Confident Employer?
The Disability Confident scheme is a government-backed initiative designed to help businesses, including law firms, attract, recruit, and retain disabled employees. It encourages employers to think differently about disability and take action to improve workplace accessibility and inclusivity.
Becoming a Disability Confident Committed Employer means we are actively working to challenge attitudes, remove barriers, and create opportunities for disabled people in the workplace.

- Commit to inclusive and accessible recruitment practices
- Communicate vacancies in a way that reaches a diverse talent pool
- Offer interviews to disabled candidates who meet the minimum role criteria
- Provide workplace adjustments to support employees with disabilities
- Support existing employees to ensure they can thrive at work
What Are the Commitments of the Scheme?
By signing up to the scheme, we have pledged to:
- Ensure fair recruitment by providing equal opportunities for disabled candidates
- Create a supportive workplace where employees with disabilities feel valued and included
