Two Ticks √√

Bradford & Bingley was awarded the 'two ticks' symbol by the Employment Service in June 1995. This was in recognition of our working towards best practice in employing disabled people and our commitment to developing the full potential of disabled employees on an equal basis with others.

The Five Commitments

To achieve the use of the 'two ticks' symbol the Bradford & Bingley had to make five specific commitments and take action to demonstrate positively that we were working towards these. The commitments were:

• Interview all applicants with a disability who meet the minimum criteria for a job vacancy and consider them on their abilities.
• Ask employees with a disability at least once a year what the Group can do to ensure that they can develop and use their abilities at work.
• Make every effort when employees become disabled to ensure they stay in employment.
• Take action to ensure key employees develop the awareness of disability needed to make the commitments work.
• Review each year these commitments and what has been achieved, plan ways to improve on them and let all employees know about progress and future plans.

Using the 'two ticks' symbol means that we are working towards the guidelines in the Employment Service Code of Good Practice on the Employment of Disabled People.

The symbol also demonstrates to all our employees that we are serious about good employment opportunities for people with disabilities and signals to the business community and the general public that the Group puts a priority on making the most of its people.

Commitment to Best Practice

To retain the use of the symbol we need to ensure that we continue to comply with the five commitments in our employment practices. Training will continue to be delivered to our Line Managers to ensure that we continue to positively demonstrate our commitment to best practice.
