Positive About Disabled People
To demonstrate our commitment we use the Positive About Disabled People symbol (right), which is awarded by the Employment Service.
As a symbol user, we guarantee an interview to all applicants with a disability whose application meets the minimum criteria for the job vacancy, and we consider them on their abilities.
What do we mean by disability?
The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 defines a disabled person as someone who has a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and adverse long-term effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.
Norwood is a member of the Fundraising Standards Board
