Leicester City Named Disability Confident Leader

- Leicester City achieve Disability Confident Leader status
- The achievement is the highest honour of the Disability Confident framework
- Scheme helps employers make the most of the talents of people with disabilities and challenges behaviour and cultures

The Club’s work in this area over recent seasons has been recognised by the Disability Confident scheme, which helps employers to make the most of the talents of people with disabilities and challenges behaviour and cultures across businesses, networks and communities. 

Obtaining Leader status, the highest honour of the Disability Confident framework, means the Club has subjected its Disability Confident self-assessment to an external challenge and validation, which scrutinised its recruitment processes as well as the training and support its offers current employees.

Furthermore, as a Disability Confident Leader, the Club will now be able to act as an independent validator to other employers progressing to or requiring re-accreditation to Level 3.

Disability Confident is creating a movement of change, encouraging employers to think differently about disability and take action to improve how they recruit, retain and develop people with disabilities and other health conditions.
