There are 3 Disability Confident levels:

• Disability Confident Committed (level 1)
• Disability Confident Employer (level 2)
• Disability Confident Leader (level 3)

Accreditation for each level of the Disability Confident scheme lasts for a maximum of 3 years. You must start at level 1.

At least 2 months before the expiry of your 3-year accreditation, you will receive a reminder email advising you that your accreditation will end from a certain date and inviting you to renew your commitment.

If you have been accredited at level 1 or level 2 you also have the opportunity to progress to the next level at any time during this 3-year period. If you progress to a higher level, the 3-year period will restart at the new level.
