What the symbol means
The symbol is a recognition given by Jobcentre Plus to employers who have agreed to make certain positive commitments regarding the employment, retention, training and career development of disabled people.
NTN will:
interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for a job vacancy and to consider them on their abilities
ensure there is a mechanism in place to discuss, at any time but at least once a year, with disabled employees, what both parties can do to make sure disabled employees can develop and use their abilities
make every effort when employees become disabled to make sure they stay in employment
take action to ensure that all employees develop the appropriate level of disability awareness needed to make sure these commitments work
review these commitments each year and assess what has been achieved, plan ways to improve on them and let employees and Jobcentre Plus know about progress and future plans
