Disability inclusion progress

As part of schuh's Disability Equality commitment to actively better understand, spotlight and support disabled people as customers and employees, schuh will be raising awareness of Disability History Month from the 16th November sharing some of the progress it has made to improve inclusion and accessibility. Through its bespoke schuh academy training platform, over 82% of store teams have completed a Disability Confident training module and over 76% have completed an Autism Awareness module. Almost 20% of schuh's ecommerce imagery is now shot with disabled models and models with visible differences, up from 15% last year.
