The Equality Act will make it unlawful to ask job applicants general questions about their health or a disability prior to making a job offer. EFD welcomes this change, because we know from our members that pre-employment questionnaires are often a waste of time and money, as they are not a good indicator of future sick leave patterns. EFD members can get exclusive, expert advice on this topic here.
Is your employer ready for this change to the law? The questions take only a few moments to answer, and will help us provide the right support to employers as they prepare for this new law.

Senior business leaders have joined forces in a unique taskforce launched by Employers' Forum on Disability. The Business Taskforce on Accessible Technology is calling for technology to deliver its promise of making it easier to employ, and do business with, disabled people.

Making redundancies is never desirable or easy, but if those affected have a disability the legal pitfalls for HR are even greater. EFD's Briefing on managing redundancy, part of a set of expert guidance, is a practical guide to managing redundancy. It provides employers specific guidance on topics related to this sensitive issue.
EFD's members are part of a unique network of organisations that share best practice on disability.
We work with our members to help them make the business case for disability and become more disability confident with practical and expert advice.
Member benefits include access to training, events, publications and our information service Disability Directions.
