Coronavirus has had an enormous impact on our day to day lives. Some of our most affected members of staff may be those with pre existing disabilities or long term health conditions.
As a Trust we are committed to supporting all of our staff, and see this as a priority.
As well as being committed to the disability confident scheme and our workforce disability equality standard we want to make sure that our staff with a disability or long term health condition have a bank of resources and information that may offer help of support.
This is in addition to our existing disability or long term health condition staff network and dedicated workforce inclusion team which you can contact by emailing:

The resources here will cover physical disability, mental health condition, long term health conditions and neurodiversity.
