Applicants with Disabilities

All courses welcome applications from people with disabilities

If you are invited for a short-listing test or an interview and you have any support needs, we suggest you contact the relevant course centre staff team or the relevant University Disability Service, so that adjustments can be made in good time.

• Please see the Courses section for the contact details for each course centre
• Please see the After You Apply section if you need more information about short-listing tests or interviews

Disability Confident scheme

What is it?

The Disability Confident scheme (previously known as "two ticks" or "double-tick") is a voluntary scheme that organisations can sign up to. It aims to help organisations make the most of the talents disabled people have to offer.

• Please see the gov.uk website if you need more information about the Disability Confident scheme

Who does it cover?

If you have a disability as defined by the Equality Act and you want to be considered under the scheme please indicate this in the Basics section of your Application.

• Please see the Equality and Human Rights Commission website if you need more information about the Equality Act and the definition of disability

Not all course centres are involved in the scheme so this will only take effect if the courses you have applied to are participating.

• Please see the Courses section to check which course centres are involved

Do I need to give details of my disability?

You are not required to give details of your disability. It is your decision whether or not to disclose a disability at any stage in the application process.

If you wish to give details about your disability you can do this in the Background Info section of your Application, in the question about other factors/context.

What about the equal opportunities section of my application?

Any information you give about a disability in the equal opportunities screen of your application may not be available to the course centres. This depends on the consent you give and on how each course centre uses (or does not use) the data in their selection process.

So if you wish to be considered under the Disability Confident scheme please indicate this in the Basics section of your Application.

• Please see the Equal Opportunities section for more information on how that screen of your Application may be used
