Ticking the right boxes

St. Leger Homes has retained a top award for its positive attitude towards people with disabilities.

The disability “Two Ticks” symbol is awarded by Jobcentre Plus to employers who can demonstrate a commitment to employing, keeping and developing the abilities of disabled staff.

St. Leger Homes first achieved the award in 2009 and, following re-assessment, has shown that they are still meeting the needs of their disabled employees.

Since their first assessment, St. Leger Homes has produced a guide for staff which covers different types of disability, gives good practice guidance for dealing with disabled customers, and encourages staff to be positive about disability.

Judith Jones of St. Leger Homes said “We are proud to have passed our re-accreditation to display the Two Ticks disability symbol. Regardless of whether we are dealing with staff or customers, we constantly strive to meet all of their needs regardless of their abilities.”
