More about the Business Taskforce on Accessible Technology
Two recent employment tribunals have drawn attention to what employers need to consider when making reasonable adjustments for disabled employees. But what is 'reasonable'?
EFD's Reasonable adjustments: line manager guide provides practical, best practice advice to help managers identify who needs an adjustment, decide if an adjustment is reasonable and know where to go for more help and advice.
EFD’s members are part of a unique network of organisations that share best practice on disability. We work with our members to help them become more disability confident with practical and expert advice. Member benefits include access to training, events, publications and our information service Disability Directions.
"Employers' Forum on Disability plays a vital role in setting the standard for disability best practice and, as the largest employer in the UK, it is essential that the NHS works proactively to promote equality for disabled people.
Steve Barnett, Director NHS Employers
