We welcome any company or organization as members depending on the below membership type who would like to be disability confident and want to create an inclusive workforce. We go through a simple assessment process  to maintain a fair and standard partnership. A tool named  Minimum Partnership Criteria (MPC) has been developed to assess the extent to which an interested organization can meet our minimum standards for establishing partnership, and whether it would therefore be appropriate to enter into a working relationship with them.
