Interviewing candidates who stammer workshop with STAMMA

If you’re involved in interviewing, whether that’s as part of recruitment and HR, or university admissions, procedures and ways of working in interviews are often set up without any thought for interviewees who stammer. Yet, in the UK, the Equality Act and the Disability Discrimination Act (NI) put a legal obligation on organisations to make sure they’re not disadvantaging people who stammer through their interview procedures.

Join Community and STAMMA for a 60-minute workshop we’ll outline the challenges people who stammer commonly face with standard interview practices, which can prevent them from demonstrating their skills, competence and knowledge.

The session will include plenty of practical tips and resources on how you can easily adapt the way you interview, so that both you and your interviewee can get the most out of the conversation. That way, you have the information you need to evaluate or to decide who really is the best candidate for that job or university place!
