TWO TICK DISABILITY USER SYMBOL

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency are a Two Tick disability symbol user. Being a part of this and using the symbol means that we are committed to the following 5 commitments;

Commitment 1

To interview all applicants with a disability who meets the minimum criteria for a job vacancy and consider them on their abilities.

Commitment 2

To ensure there is a mechanism in place to discuss at any time, but at least once a year, with disabled employees what can be done to make sure they can develop and use their abilities.

Commitment 3

To make every effort when employees become disabled to make sure they stay in employment.

Commitment 4

To take action to ensure that all employees develop the appropriate level of disability awareness needed to make the commitments work.

Commitment 5

Each year to review the 5 commitments and what has been achieved, to plan ways to improve on them and to let employees and the jobcentre know about progress and future plans.
