Stone King proud to be a Disability Confident employer

National law firm Stone King LLP is now a Disability Confident Committed employer, having joined the government scheme which aims to remove barriers to employment for disabled people.

This means Stone King is committed to supporting its disabled people and candidates, including offering an interview to candidates with disabilities who meet the minimum requirements for a vacancy as well as working to ensure the recruitment process is as inclusive as possible.

In addition, Stone King provides awareness training throughout the firm, and offers reasonable adjustments as needed. 

Stone King also ringfences a number of places on its Insight Scheme for applicants with a disability.

Rachel Feilden, Senior Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Adviser at Stone King, said, “We want to provide a fully accessible and inclusive workplace and Disability Confident accreditation is part of that journey. 

“Being a Disability Confident employer means we can continue to promote equity of opportunity, and actively support the talented individuals with disabilities who contribute to our firm’s success.

“We understand that everyone is different which is why it’s so important to Stone King that we support the growth and development of all our people.” 

Alison Allen, Stone King’s Chair, said, “Becoming a Disability Confident employer is another stride towards ensuring equality and opportunity for all at the firm, so we are delighted to be a part of the scheme.

“At Stone King, we believe in doing the right thing in every aspect of our work, and that includes creating an inclusive and diverse working environment for our people. 

“Removing barriers to employment allows us to continue to provide top quality client service, as everyone with the talent, experience and values we take pride in at Stone King can find their place with us.”
