The Disability Standard is the only management tool that enables your organisation to accurately measure performance on disability, in every way it affects your business, and put in place action plans that deliver real business improvement.

We developed the Disability Standard to establish a common understanding in the private and public sector of what constitutes best practice on disability. It is the only business-led benchmark that measures an organisation's performance on every aspect of disability as it affects a business.

The Disability Standard measures the extent to which the following policies, practices and business areas are disability confident:

  • employment.
  • customer care.
  • IT.
  • e-commerce and e-recruitment.
  • built environment.
  • product development.
  • corporate responsibility.
  • procurement.
  • health and safety.
  • occupational health.
  • marketing and communications.
  • consultations with disabled stakeholders and staff.
  • management training.
  • top team commitment.
