The application process includes the Disability Confident Scheme, which states that applicants who meet the essential criteria and opt in should be guaranteed progression to the first stage or interview. However, in practice, the outcome did not reflect this, and there is little transparency on how “essential criteria” is assessed at screening stage.
"Candidates who apply through the Disability Confident Scheme who meet the essential criteria for the role they are applying for will go straight through to the first stage of the selection process or interview, depending on the process. If you are an applicant with a disability or health condition and wish to apply through this scheme please tick yes."
Also their application form is so outdated and annoying to use.
