Disability NI has announced a new accreditation scheme, the only one of its kind in Northern Ireland.
The Disability Positive Accreditation scheme focuses on the Disability Positive practice in Northern Ireland, recognising employers who recruit and support disabled employees.
Gabrielle Fitzpatrick, Director of Operations at Employers for Disability NI, said: “We are delighted to be launching such an important initiative. Currently, people with disabilities are at least twice as likely to be unemployed, which is very concerning and something that Employers for Disability NI is determined to change.
