Do you have any staff members with impairments which affect their ability to do their job, or to travel to their job?
For example, they might need to use screen-reading software to use a computer, or a particular kind of chair to enable them to sit and work at their desk, or a Sign Language Interpreter or lip-speaker to communicate with others as part of their job? Do they need to use taxis rather than buses or tube trains to get to work?
Do you need information and advice to ensure that staff members with impairments can work to the best of their ability in the working environment you create for them?
Would other staff members benefit from training and support to work effectively alongside a staff member with impairments?
For example, would it benefit your staff to have Deaf Awareness training in order to work more effectively alongside a deaf colleague?
