Do you consider that you have a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and adverse effect on the ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities, and which has a long-term effect? If so, and you fulfil all of the essential criteria of the post, to the satisfaction of the shortlisting panel, then you will be guaranteed an interview.

Hyndburn Borough Council aims to provide equality of opportunity in employment. The Information collected on this form is very important in helping us check if our recruitment practices are fair and non-discriminatory, and that individuals are selected on the basis of relevant abilities.

We wish to do all we can to make sure that no job applicant or employee faces discrimination because of their race, nationality, age, ethnic or national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.  We offer a guaranteed interview to candidates with a disability who meet the essential criteria for the role.

We would, therefore, be grateful if you could complete this form. It will be removed prior to short listing. All information is treated in the strictest confidence.

Please give the name and address of two referees - one of these must be your present or most recent employer. You must provide reference details for at least the last three continuous years. Your referees will be contacted unless you specifically request that they are not approached without your prior consent. We normally only contact referees after interview, but this may not always be the case.
