DCMS is a very small Department with 527 staff. As a Department we do monitor across the equality strands and 3 per cent. of staff have declared a disability.
DCMS’s agency Royal Parks Agency employ just fewer than 100 staff, with 1 per cent. of their staff having declared a disability.
DCMS is committed to ensuring equal opportunities for all and as a Department we endeavour to offer employment appointments to disabled people. In recognition of this, we have been accredited with the “Positive About Disabled People—Two Ticks Symbol” following an assessment made by Jobcentre Plus.
As part of our on-going commitment, we ensure that we monitor and evaluate our recruitment and retention procedures, by consulting staff on a range of disability issues, and by ensuring reasonable adjustments to our working environment are made.
