COLCHESTER Borough Homes has been recognised as an employer which treats people with disabilities positively.

Only 12 organisations in Colchester were recognised by the Jobcentre Plus for their work.

Claire Holland, Colchester Borough Homes equality and diversity officer, said: “This is a really positive commitment. We want to be an employer of choice for disabled people.

"Disabled people can make a huge contribution to companies: but often prejudice means they are not given a chance.”
