New DSO website for people working with disabled staff
15 Nov 2010
A new section has been created on StaffNet to help people working with disabled members of staff
The University of Manchester is committed to providing a positive working environment free from discrimination, harassment, or victimisation due to a disability where all staff are treated with respect and dignity.
The DSO’s service for disabled staff provides advice, guidance and support to Human Resources Staff, Line Managers, Health and Safety Staff, Counselling Service Staff and any other member of staff needing this service.
If you are working with a disabled staff member and you need advice about support that is available, or even simply what to do, then please contact the DSO. This can be done in confidence without necessarily mentioning any names. We can assist line managers, HR etc to ensure that they have considered all reasonable adjustments to a role and advise on alternative options. This is often done in conjunction with other University services such as Occupational Health.
