BT’s Valuable 500 Commitment:

BT will launch the company’s Disability Rapid Action Plan (DRAP)

We’ll be aiming to deliver, through our Disability Rapid Action Plan (DRAP), the additional focus and resource needed to accelerate the pace of progress and achieve better outcomes for our disabled colleagues. As part of this programme we will recognise and give support to all colleagues who share that they have a neurodiverse condition, an impairment or a long term health condition.

While many organisations have set gender and ethnicity targets, we have gone one step further. We have recognised the scale of this challenge and set ourselves two additional strategic goals in terms of the diversity of our workforce. We will be holding ourselves to account by publicly monitoring our progress against our disability related 2025 workforce diversity targets and our 2030 workforce ambitions.

The DRAP along with the new targets will ensure the whole of BT works toward becoming more inclusive in the way we tailor our working environments and processes to support our disabled colleagues and the managers of disabled colleagues.
