DDA Masterclass: Disability Discrimination Act: Employment
22nd May 2008, 10:00am - 4:00pm, Liverpool Past event
Under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), you must ensure you do not discriminate against a disabled job applicant, employee, customer or service user.
Catherine Casserley, one of the leading experts on DDA case law, will explain your organisation's rights and responsibilities and update you on the latest tribunal decisions and amendments to legislation. Catherine was former senior legal adviser at the Disability Rights Commission and is now a barrister at the law firm Cloisters.
Masterclasses work with small groups of delegates to make it easier for you to discuss the issues relevant to your organisation and to apply your learning to exercises based on DDA case law.
You can earn Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points by attending these events (4.5 hours).
Why attend?
Understand the employment provisions of the DDA, including direct discrimination, less favourable treatment, reasonable adjustments and justification and apply this directly to your work on a day-to-day basis.
Who should attend?
HR professionals, occupational health professionals, disability advisers, health and safety specialists, those in charge of training and disability or diversity practitioners responsible for promoting change on disability.
Testimonial
Jacky Lloyd, Chartered FCIPD, MSc, HR manager, Nottinghamshire Police."I thought the day was excellent – one of the most useful legal updates I have been to. The subject was presented by someone who is clearly an expert in the area. However, the real benefit was how this was translated into how to approach this on a day-to-day basis as an HR professional. I would thoroughly recommend attending this event. It will be money well spent!"
