• Check advertisements, job descriptions and person specifications to make sure they are not likely to lead to discrimination.

• Make necessary reasonable adjustments for candidates in advance of interviews

• Take care to ensure that people with disabilities are given the right conditions to do tests and take part in other selection processes.

• Concentrate on abilities to do the job during interview and only ask about a disability if it has a bearing on the person’s ability to work.

• Consider modifications to job qualification requirements if a person could not achieve it due to disability but otherwise would perform the job well.

• Offer an interview to all disabled applicants who meet the essential requirements of the job. This is a requirement of the Positive about Disabled People initiative (Two Ticks) to which the University has committed itself, and promotes the employment of disabled people.
