The Recruitment Industry Disability Initiative (RIDI) works with employers and recruiters to break down barriers for disabled jobseekers. Through its annual awards, RIDI recognises organisations that champion inclusive hiring practices and create opportunities for disabled talent to thrive. 

This award celebrates our decade-long commitment to disability-confident recruitment and creating inclusive hiring practices that remove barriers for disabled candidates. The event was an inspiring opportunity to connect with RIDI advocates and past winners who share our vision of workplaces where accessibility and inclusion are the norm.
