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.”
