Assessment Centres
![Page 11: ARE YOU EXCLUDING TALENT? Bindi Dholakia, CPsychol](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649f2f5503460f94c49873/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Assessment Centre
Have you considered the micro-inequities in your AC process?
Extra time for exercises often means missing time away from the other graduates.
The lack of social interaction can hamper the performance of disabled graduates.

Unconscious/Implicit Bias
Research shows implicit bias is most prevalent for disability.
Making reasonable adjustments can reinforce unconscious bias from assessors.
Can lead to micro inequities in behaviour.
