Talking About Disability: The Employer Perspective

Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2025
Time: 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Location: Online Event
More details

Wondering how employers handle disability inclusion in practice? Join us for this round table discussion, hosted in partnership with Peoplewise, where professionals from the public and private sectors will share how they support disabled candidates and employees - from application through to day-to-day working life.

You’ll hear how different organisations approach reasonable adjustments during recruitment, assessment centres, & in the workplace, & what practical steps they take to create inclusive environments. Speakers will also reflect on what they’ve learned, what works well, & what still needs to change.

This is also a great opportunity to ask your own questions in a supportive environment. Whether you're curious about adjustments, disclosure, or inclusive culture, you’ll be able to hear directly from employers who are actively working to make their recruitment processes and workplaces more accessible.

This event will be useful if you:

  • Are disabled, neurodivergent, or have a long-term health condition & want to understand how employers can support you
  • Are curious about how reasonable adjustments work in real-life recruitment & employment settings

By attending, you’ll:

  • Hear how employers across sectors handle requests for reasonable adjustments
  • Learn what to expect (and what you can ask for) during application & assessment stages
  • Gain insight into inclusive practices that support disabled employees at work
  • Feel more confident talking to employers about your needs & asking questions that matter to you

This session will be via Teams & is be open to students at a number of universities. If you need any adjustments to access this session, contact Jennie Tannett. 

The first part of the event will be recorded but there will also be an unrecorded time for you to ask questions.
