What is the Disabled Staff Council?
The Disability Council is a network group with the objective of giving staff with disabilities a voice.
The network aims to:
i) Provide a forum for members of the DSC to:
- Share knowledge and experience in a safe and supportive environment.
- Have a collective voice and contribute to the Trusts disability agenda
- Gain knowledge and access appropriate support available for disabled staff.
- Increase disability awareness and push the disability agenda
ii) Provide the Trust with the opportunity to:
- Consult and collaborate with disabled staff.
- Raise the profile of disability within the equality, diversity and inclusion remit.
- Increase accessibility and inclusion across all areas.
The network is open to all staff whose goal is to make the Trust a better place to be and whose aspirations and aims are the same as the disability network.
