Is your business fully aware of disability discrimination and how best to handle any workplace issues?
Disability discrimination claims make up a quarter of all those conciliated with ACAS, a 30% increase between 2022/23 and 2023/24. This comes against the backdrop of an escalated recognition that mental ill health and neurodivergence can, and do, amount to disabilities, in parallel with what some experts are calling a ‘mental health epidemic’.
Employers must be vigilant with their policies and practices to ensure they remain up to date with employees’ developing understanding of their rights at a time when mental ill health is at an all-time global high.
Why attend?
- Gain a comprehensive understanding of the latest disability discrimination laws and how they impact your workplace.
- Learn about the unique challenges and legal considerations related to mental health in the workplace.
- Receive actionable tips and strategies to support disabled employees.
- Discover ways to create a more inclusive and supportive work environment for all employees.
Join Richard Thomas and Evie Williams, as they provide an overview of the law surrounding disability discrimination – with a particular focus on mental health – and practical tips to help HR professionals understand how best to support disabled employees throughout the entire employee life cycle.
As a HR professional this was hugely insightful and a great refresher for myself and colleague. We both left feel much more confident in how we may tackle some of the obstacles thrown at us. Not to mention it was great to have the event in person.
