Disability Directions launches in London
21st March 2007
Employers' Forum on Disability's new information service has been launched at the offices of Merrill Lynch in London.
The team were on hand at the ‘Supporting line managers on mental health' conference to provide answers to Forum members' questions on disability as it affects business.
The information line has been the cornerstone of EFD since its inception in 1988, with CEO Susan Scott Parker handling queries from employers and service providers herself in the early days.
Disability Directions will reflect the increasing demand from members for expert guidance and advice. Manager Kerry Smith and her approachable team, Dee Apolline and Carrie Druce handle hundreds of enquiries a month, by phone, fax, letter and email and this number is on the rise.
Disability Directions can be contacted on 020 7403 3020, by emailing disabilitydirections@efd.org.uk by faxing 020 7403 0404 or by textphone on 020 7403 0040. They can also be contacted by post at the usual address.
