What is Disability Confidence?

What does it mean to be a disability confident workplace, and how can organizations move from intention to action?

This session introduces attendees to the concept of disability confidence and why it matters for today’s workforce. Together, we will build a shared understanding of disability, challenge common misconceptions, and explore the practical steps organizations can take to create more inclusive and accessible workplaces.

Attendees will be guided through the core elements of a disability confident employer, with a focus on what this looks like in practice across hiring, workplace culture, and day-to-day operations. The session also highlights the role every employee plays in reducing barriers and supporting inclusion, reinforcing that accessibility is a shared responsibility across an organization.

By the end of the session, attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of disability confidence, increased awareness of workplace barriers, and practical actions they can take to contribute to a more inclusive and accessible work environment.
