The Disability Confident Scheme is a government-initiated scheme which supports employers to make the most of the talents people with disabilities can bring to the workplace, giving us the tools to recruit, retain and develop.

Working closely with Dan Biddle, founder of The National Diversity Employment and Advisory Service, we have been making the necessary adjustments to both our working space and practices to ensure we could achieve this status, as we work towards being a Disability Confident Leader in the industry.

“We are now a certified Disability Confident Employer, part of our commitment to inclusion and diversity in the workplace. We’re recognised for changing behaviour and culture around disability within Orchard, and for promoting this through our networks. The scheme truly makes an impact on people’s lives, and we are proud to be a team that values and respects inclusion in this way”
