Members

Members of EFD enjoy being part of a unique network of organisations that share best practice on disability. Our members can access specialist advice on recruiting and retaining disabled employees and serving disabled customers.  Our aim is to work with organisations so that they can be Disability Confident.

If your organisation is a member, you are part of a network of private and public sector employers across the UK employing anything from less than 100 to over 50,000 people.  Collectively, EFD members employ about 20% of the UK workforce.  Want to know who is a member?  Why not look at the list of EFD members (see the Word document at the bottom of this page)?  Gold members are listed here.

Are you making the most of your membership?

For example, any employee of a member organisation can:

1. Use Disability Directions, a confidential advice service, if you have any queries or issues relating to disability (including the law).  It can relate to disabled customers or employees (from an employer's viewpoint). You can contact them between 9-5pm Monday to Friday on 020 7403 3020 or by email: disabilitydirections@efd.org.uk.
2. Access the member only resources on the EFD website.  If you haven't already done so, why not register for the website now?
3. Receive a copy of EFD's e-bulletin by emailing enquiries@efd.org.uk with a request to be added to the distribution list.
4. Attend events for members or listen to telephone tutorials from their desk.

Each member organisation is asked to nominate a key contact, as well as secondary contact(s).  This key contact will receive regular information about our services.  However, we are happy to hear from all employees within a member organisation. 

Do contact us any time if you want more information about EFD.  Each member has a dedicated account or relationship manager who will be happy to help you. If you want to know who yours is, please ring us on 020 7403 3020 or email membership@efd.org.uk and we will tell you.

If you wish to give positive or negative feedback on your experience of membership, or have ideas as to what you think we should be offering members, please email the Director of Member Services on joanna.wootten@efd.org.uk.  We are here to serve you, and sadly telepathy isn't one of our skills, so please do tell us.

If you are not a member, why not join us? If you would like to know more about the benefits of membership, please look here.
