After deciding who to apply to for a job, one of the most difficult decisions to make is whether or not you are going to inform a potential employer about your disability or health condition. However, if you are not open about your disability you won’t be able to ask for the support / adjustments that you may need during the recruitment process. Yet without this support you will struggle to demonstrate your suitability for the role.

This webinar will help you to understand the benefits of disclosing your disability and the consequences of not.

This webinar will:
1. Highlight why employers ask about disability
2. Look at how the information is used and who it is shared with
3. Build understanding into the benefits of being open, and the consequences of not
4. Consider what information is appropriate to share
5. Enable delegates to write their ‘openness statement’
