The ALLIANCE is committed to the principles of the Disability Confident Scheme, which includes offering an interview to a fair and proportionate number of disabled applicants who meet the minimum essential criteria for the role.

This commitment does not guarantee an interview for all disabled applicants; candidates must meet the minimum criteria of the role. The purpose of this approach is to promote positive action by encouraging disabled individuals to apply for roles and providing them with the opportunity to demonstrate their skills, talents, and potential at the interview stage.

There may be instances where it is not practical or appropriate to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria. In such cases, we will apply the same selection process used for non-disabled applicants, shortlisting those who best meet the criteria.
