At Sight Support Worthing, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to work in a supportive and inclusive environment. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that we have achieved Level 2: Disability Confident Employer status!
What does this mean?
This accreditation, awarded by the Government’s Disability Confident scheme, recognises our commitment to inclusive employment practices. It shows that we not only welcome applications from people with disabilities but also actively support them throughout their employment journey. Achieving this Level 2 status means we are taking practical steps to ensure that people with disabilities are treated fairly and given opportunities to develop and progress within our organisation.
Why is this important?
Being a Disability Confident Employer is about much more than ticking boxes; it’s about creating a workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered to achieve their full potential. We are dedicated to providing a welcoming and accessible environment for all our employees, including those with visual impairments and other disabilities. This accreditation is a testament to our ongoing efforts to break down barriers and make a positive impact in our community.
Joining forces with local leaders
As a member of the Worthing and Adur Chamber of Commerce, we’re in great company! We’re proud to be part of a local network that is leading the way in promoting inclusivity. Several other Chamber members have also been recognized under the Disability Confident scheme, including Constructive Marketing, Bird & Blend Tea Co, FermionX and South Downs Leisure. Together, we are working to create a more inclusive and accessible business community in Worthing and Adur.
What’s next?
We are committed to maintaining the high standards required by the Disability Confident scheme and continually improving our approach to inclusivity. We will continue to support and advocate for disability inclusion, not just within our own organisation but also by encouraging other local businesses to do the same. We offer training to organisations who are keen to improve their awareness and understanding of visual impairment, particularly in relation to the workplace.
We’re excited to continue our journey as a Disability Confident Employer and look forward to making even more positive changes in the future. Thank you for supporting us in our mission to make Worthing a more inclusive place for everyone!
