Course overview
UK equality and discrimination laws provide special protections for those who have a disability. Awards of compensation for disability discrimination are uncapped and claims can be costly – both financially and in terms of reputation. This course provides a comprehensive overview of the responsibilities and considerations relevant when managing staff with a mental or physical disability.
Who should attend
This course will be useful to anyone involved in managing people including
those with HR responsibilities.
Benefits of attending
This course will help delegates understand what falls within the legal scope of a
disability and how best to manage employees with disabilities in a way which is
supportive and compliant. This will increase managers’ confidence and improve
engagement amongst employees with disabilities. It will increase delegates’
knowledge, not only in respect of the legal risks and obligations, but also on
how they can best support employees and generally become a more inclusive
employer.
