"Using the Disability Standard is a really effective way of engaging senior stakeholders across our organisation and explaining how disability impacts their particular area of business. It has also given us a framework for tracking activities to improve our disability capability and confidence."

About

The Disability Standard is an online management tool developed by Business Disability Forum to help business to measure and improve on performance for disabled customers, clients or service users, employees and stakeholders. Find out more about the Disability Standard below.

It’s the best way of checking how disability-smart your organisation is, right across your business.

To take part in the Disability Standard you need to be a Member of Business Disability Forum. To see if your organisation is a Member please visit the Business Disability Forum website.  Find out more about the Disability Standard process and how your organisation could benefit from taking part.

Find out which organisations have demonstrated their commitment to getting it right for disabled employees and disabled customers by having a evaluation of their performance since we redesigned the Disability Standard in 2011.

You can download the Disability Standard reports from 2005 onwards. The reports are available in PDF and accessible Word formats.

The Disability Standard was originally developed in partnership with our leading members and Business Disability Forum associates in 2004. 80 participants took part in the first benchmark in 2005 and this number has continued to grow...

While all organisations using the Disability Standard should be congratulated for their commitment to becoming more Disability-smart, we particularly recognise organisations that score highly against the Standard.
