Many students and graduates with a disability, health condition or neurodiversity worry about whether to tell a prospective or current employer. In legal terms, this is referred to as ‘disclosure’. It is both a balancing act and a personal decision whether and when you want to share information about your disability during the recruitment process or in the workplace.
The organisations on this webpage offer a range of advice, support and guidance on recruitment and employment issues including sharing information about your disability or health condition with prospective employers.
Self-employment can be well suited to disabled or neurodivergent students and graduates, if you find it difficult to keep up with traditional work.
There are a number of initiatives and organisations that support employers to ensure that their recruitment process and working practices do not discriminate against jobseekers and employees with a disability or long-term health condition.
The Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers, launched in June 2008, is an agreement between funders and employers of researchers in the UK and represents a significant development in national policy to support good management of researchers and their careers.
