Offer an Interview Scheme

sorry to hear this

you do the know that "disability confident" is a UK Gov scheme - that should tell you enough by itself !

However, the scheme is completely self policed largely by those who sign up - there is no independant vetting

That said I would note every instance and send a separate complaint to the gov dept that runs "disability cofident"  I would also send a letter following to the company saying you have made a complaint to UK Gov that a "Disability Confident" member is advertising "offer an interview" in job adverts but not actually doing so when you've clearly disclosed disability and also meeting the min role requirements .

you may need to disclose to both your Autism and also a copy of the job spec, with the essential criteria , perhaps with you application and CV showing how you measure against them - together with the letter to say you have been unsucessul

Let's call these shams out

I was also made redundant by a “disability confident” employer; I contacted the people who run the "disability confident” scheme and heard nothing from them. At this point, though, I am just interested in hearing about anybody else’s experiences.

Sorry to hear that - I would write to your MP, this simply isn't good enough - its tokenism and needs to be called out as such even if the scheme is voluntary
