Become a Disability Confident employer
Disability Confident is a government scheme that helps you embrace the talents that people with health conditions and disabilities can bring to your workplace.
As a Disability Confident ‘Leader’, Seetec can help you on your Disability Confident journey.
We’ll help you to sign up to be a Disability Confident employer, introduce you to great candidates who are pre-screened, trained and ready to work, and help you to create an inclusive workforce.
We also offer specialist support including advice on disability and neurodiversity at work, mental health first aid, and health and wellbeing in the workplace.
“Flexible working hours, workplace adjustments and mental health support are so important in the workplace.
Victoria Edwards, Hampton by Hilton hotels
As an employer we are not just hiring but actively contributing to a larger cultural shift in how businesses view and support individuals with disabilities and health challenges
The Disability Confident scheme has three levels designed to support you at every step of your journey.
At each stage, you will also receive a certificate and logo to use on your website and marketing materials.
1
Level 1 – Disability Confident Committed
You’ll agree to the Disability Confident commitments and identify at least one action to make a difference for disabled people.
This can include an action like paid work, work experience, work trials, apprenticeships, internships and so on.
Once you’ve signed up as Disability Confident Committed, you’ll be registered for three years and receive a self-assessment pack to help you continue your journey to becoming a Disability Confident Employer

Level 2 – Disability Confident Employer
Once you’ve signed up for level 1 you can progress to level 2 – a Disability Confident Employer – by self-assessing your organisation around two themes:
- Getting the right people for your business
- Keeping and developing your people.
Disability Confident Employers are recognised as going the extra mile to make sure disabled people get a fair chance.
Once you’ve completed your online self-assessment, you’ll be registered as a Disability Confident Employer for three years.
You’ll receive information on how to become a Disability Confident Leader.

Level 3 – Disability Confident Leader
By stepping up to become a Disability Confident Leader, you’ll be acting as a champion within your local and business communities.

- Provide a short narrative to show what you have done or will be doing to support your status as a Disability Confident Leader
- Confirm you are employing disabled people
- Report on disability, mental health and wellbeing, by referring to the Voluntary Reporting Framework.
Once you’re recognised as a Disability Confident Leader, you’ll be registered for three years.
