The submission deadline for this year’s Recruitment Industry Disability Awards (RIDI) has been extended until midnight on Tuesday the 6th of February. This is in response to unprecedented interest in the awards and multiple requests for extensions.

Kate Headley, spokesperson for the Recruitment Industry Disability Initiative has commented:

“We’ve once again been overwhelmed with, and inspired by, the diversity and quality of entries for this year’s RIDI Awards. Thank you so much to those who have already entered.”

“In recent days we’ve had quite a few appeals for an extension to the deadline. The RIDI Executive Committee has discussed these requests and has made a unanimous decision to shift the deadline for all entries to Tuesday the 6th of February. We hope that this extra time allows those who would otherwise feel they don’t have the capacity to complete an entry a chance to share their stories.”

The awards are free to enter and attend.
