Forum provides help on disabled recruitment

The Employers' Forum on Disability has launched a briefing paper for employers designed to promote best practice in recruiting disabled people.

A practical guide to managing recruitment takes managers through a range of practices including drawing up job specifications, web-based and print applications, using employment agencies, short listing, interview questions, ability testing, health examinations and job offers. It also explains the employer's duties under the Disability Discrimination Act as well as providing case studies which highlight the benefits of a diverse workforce.
