Guidance
Mentoring programmes, shadowing, job rotation/wider experience, co-option and
secondments will all serve to build the confidence and ability of individuals
from priority groups to do the job and gain promotion. Action with a focus
on under-represented groups is justified if under-representation has been
evidenced.

Equality Organisations, including the EHRC.

The Disability 2 ticks scheme
