DWP Disability Confident Scheme Survey

We are inviting you to share your experience as a disabled employee or as an employee with long-term health conditions, through a short anonymous survey. Your response will help shape the future of Disability Confident, a voluntary scheme that encourages employers to improve their support for disabled people in the workplace.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is carrying out this research to improve Disability Confident. You do not need to be employed by a Disability Confident employer to take part in this research. While we won’t be able to implement all suggestions, your feedback will be very valuable in making sure Disability Confident works as well as it can for both employees and employers. 

This survey has been shared with you via the Disability Unit Regional Stakeholder Network, which helps to ensure disabled people's views and voices are at the heart of the work of the UK government.

Please review the attached information sheet for further details about the research and how your data will be handled. 

For extra background on Disability Confident reform, you can also review the attached draft Disability Confident Criteria. Please note this is a preview and not the final version. Reviewing this document is optional and should take around 5-10 minutes.

If you’re happy to participate, please complete the short online anonymous survey using this link: Disability Confident Reform - Employee survey

We will hold any information you provide in the strictest of confidence and will handle it securely throughout the study. You don’t have to take part, and your decision to do so is completely voluntary. Taking part will not affect your relationship with DWP now or in the future.  

This survey will close at 11:59pm on 17th July 2026, so we would greatly appreciate responses before this date.
