Disability staff network

If you consider yourself to have an impairment, cognitive difference, or long term health/medical condition, or have a specific interest in this area of work, then this group is for you!

We also welcome allies to join the network.

Our main areas of focus are:

• establishing a peer support network so that those new to the organisation or whose circumstances change have access to a "buddy" who can help them, and their managers, to get the right support in place as smoothly as possible.
• raising awareness and knowledge through a programme of events organised around dates such as International Day for People with Disabilities and Mental Health Awareness Week
• reviewing policies, accessibility of premises and systems, and availability of information in areas like reasonable adjustments and the Access to Work scheme. 

If you are thinking of applying for a role at the council and would like to know more about the group or working for the council contact us.
