The Business Disability Forum (BDF) has launched a new ‘one stop’ advice page to provide organisations across all industry sectors with the latest guidance on supporting disabled colleagues, post COVID-19 lockdown.
Launched by the BDF Advice Service, Back to business: Supporting disabled employees post-lockdown, provides a round-up of all the latest guidance from the Government, the EHRC and other official bodies. It also offers practical advice for businesses on planning their back to the workplace strategies.
PRACTICAL ADVICE
The topics covered are based on the most common post-lockdown queries received by the Advice Service, in recent weeks.
Topics include:
- General post-lockdown guidance.
- Commuting and travelling for work.
- Office environment.
- Psychological and social considerations.
- Monitoring compliance and behaviours.
- Preparing for a potential second wave.
- Employees waiting for NHS treatment and procedures.
CHANGING GUIDANCE
Commenting on the launch, Angela Matthews, Head of Advice at BDF, stated: “With guidance changing on a daily basis, we know it can be difficult for organisations to stay on top of the latest information and how it impacts on disabled colleagues. We hope our one-stop advice page will make it easier for organisations to quickly find the practical information that they need and ensure the needs of disabled colleagues are taken into consideration when planning for post-lockdown working.”
The one-stop advice page is the latest in a series of Covid-19 resources produced by the non-profit disability and business membership organisation to help organisations support disabled colleagues and customers.
