COURSE OVERVIEW

Disabled people are still far less likely to be employed in Scotland. Many employers want to change this — but aren’t sure how. 

This training breaks it down. You’ll learn how small changes can make a big difference — from adjusting how you write a job ad to how you handle interviews and communication. We’ll explore what inclusion means at every stage of hiring, and how to build confidence when speaking with disabled applicants. 

Whether you’re a hiring manager, HR lead, or part of a recruitment team, this course gives you the tools and confidence to take action.

Inclusive Hiring Training - Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our Inclusive Hiring Training below, and get in touch if you need further assistance!

Is this just about legal compliance?

No. While we include the legal context, the focus is on practical actions that make recruitment more accessible and inclusive.

Does the training include adjustments for interviews?

Yes. We explore common adjustments and how to ask, offer, and plan for them fairly.

What if we already follow good practices?

That’s great. This training will help you strengthen and update your practices with the latest thinking and lived experience insight.

Is this suitable for recruiters without DEI experience?

Yes. We explain everything clearly — no prior knowledge needed. 

Will we get resources to use after the session?

Yes. Each participant gets a toolkit with templates, checklists, and examples for day-to-day use.

Will we learn how to write better job ads?

Yes. We provide guidance on inclusive language and structure to help you attract a wider range of applicants.

Can this training be tailored to our sector?

Absolutely. We adapt the content to reflect your industry, team roles, and recruitment approach.

Is the content relevant for both small and large organisations?

Yes. We focus on approaches that work regardless of organisation size or budget.

Can this be delivered online?

Yes, we can deliver this Inclusive Hiring Training online. However, we recommend in-person delivery wherever possible. Discussing recruitment practices, bias, and accessibility often benefits from live interaction, small group exercises, and open discussion — all of which tend to work better face-to-face.

In-person sessions also create a more focused environment, helping teams reflect honestly and apply learning directly to their roles.

That said, we’re happy to adapt for remote or hybrid teams if online delivery is more practical for your organisation.

Who delivers the training?

The training is delivered by professionals with both lived experience of disability and a strong background in recruitment and workplace inclusion.
