A housing association on Teesside has won an award for employing people with disabilities.

Endeavour, in Thornaby, has been granted the Disability Symbol Award.

It had to show that it interviewed all disabled applicants for jobs, as long as they met the minimum criteria, that it had policies to develop the potential of disabled employees, and that all employees were understanding of their disabled colleagues.

It is the second time the association has won the equal opportunities symbol
