This year the Disability in Policing Conference will take place from 29th - 30th September at the Radisson Blu East Midlands Airport.

How to maximise the diverse abilities of your Police workforce retaining their skills and experience

The conference will help and inspire you to:

• Invest in equality, diversity and inclusion posts
• Save money, as investment reduces number of employment tribunals at ~ £100,000 each
• Improve public confidence because we are getting it right for staff
• Increase reporting of disability hate crime
• Acknowledge the disability pay gap for recruitment and retention

There are limited spaces available, so register now. If you have any questions regarding the conference, please contact CJS Event Solutions on register@cjsevents.co.uk or 0333 222 4061.
